Cook said on the company's most recent earnings call that the rollout will include support for Singaporean and Indian localized English, increasing user accessibility to AI-driven capabilities in these areas. With this upgrade, Indian users of iPhones, iPads, and Macs will soon have access to cutting-edge AI capabilities like ChatGPT integration, Writing Tools, and Smart Reply, which will improve their entire experience.

How to use Apple Intelligence in India?
There is another option to experiment with the new capabilities, even though Indian customers may still use Apple Intelligence in its normal settings for a while. You must first switch your default regional option to a language that supports Apple Intelligence in order to use AI capabilities on compatible iPhones. To accomplish this, choose English (US) or any other supported language as the primary language on your smartphone by going to Settings > General > Language & Region.
Apple Intelligence does not yet support Indian English. This setting guarantees that the language needed for AI capability is recognized by your device.
After that, select English (US) or another language that is supported by Siri and Apple Intelligence by going to Settings > Apple Intelligence and Siri > Language. Following these procedures, you will get an invitation from Apple to sign up for a waitlist in order to gain access to Apple Intelligence. Within a few hours or days of joining, you will be notified when the local language model has been downloaded to your device. You may then begin utilizing Apple's most recent range of AI-powered capabilities.
