โ Apple Deepens India Push
Foxconn, Appleโs top supplier, is wrapping up a 300-acre iPhone factory near Bengaluru, backed by a $2.56B investment โ despite Trumpโs vocal criticism of Apple shifting production to India.
๐๏ธ โProject Elephantโ Highlights:
โ Located in Devanahalli, 34km from Bengaluru airport
โ Dorms for 30,000 workers, Indiaโs largest factory housing
โ Focus on female workforce (up to 80%)
โ Target: 100,000 iPhones by end of 2025
โ Dorms complete by December 2025
๐ฆ Production Timeline:
โข Initial iPhone models started in May
โข More units expected by August ahead of iPhone 17 launch in September
โข Two-phase rollout, โน3,000 crore per phase (2023โ24, 2026โ27)
๐ India = New Manufacturing Frontier
Foxconnโs latest hub joins its existing plants in Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad (AirPods). Meanwhile, Tata Electronics expands its role after acquiring Pegatron and Wistron assets.
Apple is clearly reconfiguring its global supply chain โ and India is now center stage.
