Indian App Store Users are in a treat, since Apple continues to go global with its App Store ambitions. Apple has made eight additions to the list of supported currencies, they are: Russian Ruble, Turkey’s Lire, India’s Rupee, Indonesia’s Rupiah, Israel’s New Shekel, Saudi Arabia’s Riyal, South Africa’s Rand, and United Arab Emirates’ Dirham. The additions came after developers were told earlier in the week that iTunes Connect, the portal that lets developers control pricing and app availability, would be down for a period of time on the 25th.

Apple says India is not a big market for them. Why is INR then!
Piracy will still be there, unless the prices are affordable.

Looks like they think that India is a good market for them. Don't matter much to me anyway, I'm not Apple fanboy. :)

I hope they allow itunes in India also.

This could be a move to enable iTunes 11 for Indian Customers as well ! :)

People here in India are not much used to with iPad till date, but yes iPod and iPhone is there in big demand in market. And, Apple share is also glowing up day by day in Indian market. Now saying India is not a big market for Apple is enough to define.
