Apple had intended to create an online store in India for a long time, but the law blocked it. Foreign companies that wanted to host their own-brand e-commerce sites had to source 30% of their production domestically, something Apple couldn't accomplish. A surge in iPhone production in the country, on the other hand, helped persuade the government to relax the criteria.
