Significantly, amid supply chain instability in China, Foxconn, Apple’s main supplier, is allegedly planning to increase the number of employees at its iPhone manufacturing in India over the next two years.

The corporation plans to transfer a sizeable amount of its iPhone production capacity to its Indian manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu, and it wants Apple recruit approximately 53,000 more people.

Currently, Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, three of Apple’s contract manufacturers, make its iPhones in India.

Within weeks after the new iPhone 14’s global introduction, Apple started producing it in India. It further asserted that by the end of 2022, India will get 5% of the world’s manufacturing demand.

To encourage local manufacturing, the Indian government introduced the production-linked incentive (PLI) programme for big electronics businesses.

According to a CMR study, Apple delivered approximately 1.2 million iPhones made in India in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 94% year over year.

By the end of 2022, Apple hopes to shift 5% of the world’s manufacturing demand to India, producing 47,000 crore rupees’ worth of domestic iPhones in FY23.
