The iPhone 18 Pro costs ₹1,64,900 in India for 256GB, ₹1,89,900 for 512GB, ₹2,39,900 for 1TB and ₹3,14,900 for 2TB, according to Apple’s Store page. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is ₹15,000 more at every tier: ₹1,79,900, ₹2,04,900, ₹2,54,900 and ₹3,29,900. Apple India lists EMI from ₹26,316 a month for the cheapest Pro and up to ₹7,000 instant cashback with eligible cards.
Pre-orders open at 5:30 pm IST on Saturday, September 12, the local equivalent of Apple’s 5 a.m. PT start, and the phones go on sale on Friday, September 18. Wednesday’s press release carried only US prices, so this is the first confirmed Indian pricing for the phones in our iPhone 18 Pro official roundup.

| Storage | iPhone 18 Pro | EMI from | iPhone 18 Pro Max | EMI from |

What each storage step costs in rupees
The jumps grow as you climb. Going from 256GB to 512GB adds ₹25,000 (₹1,89,900 minus ₹1,64,900). Going from 512GB to 1TB adds ₹50,000 (₹2,39,900 minus ₹1,89,900). Going from 1TB to 2TB adds ₹75,000 (₹3,14,900 minus ₹2,39,900). Each step is ₹25,000 larger than the previous one, and the same three steps apply to the Pro Max.
Adding the three steps together, the 2TB iPhone 18 Pro is ₹1,50,000 more than the 256GB model. That ratio of 1 to 2 to 3 between the steps is the same one Apple uses in the US, where the increments are $200, $400 and $600, although the rupee figures do not track the US ones at a single exchange rate and Apple sets prices per market.
- 256GB to 512GB: plus ₹25,000
- 512GB to 1TB: plus ₹50,000
- 1TB to 2TB: plus ₹75,000
- 256GB to 2TB: plus ₹1,50,000
EMI options and the ₹7,000 cashback
Apple’s Store page offers up to six months of No Cost EMI and up to ₹7,000 instant cashback with eligible cards. The EMI figures Apple lists line up with a six-month plan on the price after the cashback. For the 256GB Pro, ₹1,64,900 minus ₹7,000 is ₹1,57,900, and ₹1,57,900 divided by six is ₹26,316.67, which matches Apple’s ₹26,316 a month. The same arithmetic produces the other seven figures, for example ₹3,29,900 minus ₹7,000 is ₹3,22,900, divided by six is ₹53,816.67, and Apple lists ₹53,817.
Multiplied back out, six payments of ₹26,316 total ₹1,57,896, and six of ₹53,817 total ₹3,22,902, both within a few rupees of the discounted prices. Apple has not published which banks or cards qualify, so the cashback and the No Cost EMI term should be treated as the best case rather than a guarantee for every buyer. Longer EMI plans may be offered at checkout, but Apple’s page lists only the six-month figures.
The monthly gap between Pro and Pro Max is about ₹2,500 at every tier: ₹28,817 minus ₹26,316 is ₹2,501, and the other three tiers differ by exactly ₹2,500. Over six months that is the ₹15,000 sticker premium spread evenly.
Pre-order timing, eSIM and what Apple has not said
Pre-orders open at 5:30 pm IST on September 12 on Apple’s India Store and the phones ship on September 18, the date Apple gives for its first wave of more than 65 countries and regions. India is not on Apple’s list of 12 eSIM-only markets, so Indian units are expected to keep the physical SIM tray. All four colors, Black, Silver, Glacier and Burgundy, are listed.
Apple has not published Indian trade-in values, carrier bundles or the list of eligible cards for the cashback. It also has not said whether the 2TB models will be available on launch day in India or arrive later. For the hardware behind the prices, including the A20 Pro chip and the 48MP variable-aperture camera, see our A20 Pro explainer and our iPhone 18 Pro camera guide.
