The company has not filed its revenues with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs yet but the estimate is calculated in accordance with the sales that were achieved in the previous fiscal year.

In the previous years Apple did not focus much on the Indian market but with time the company has grown manifold and now India is one of its most important revenue generators for Apple Inc.

The company's latest flagship devices, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus have been the main propellers of the company's sales. Despite the high price point the company is able to perform well due to the easy financing options available to most consumers.
