In a significant move to bolster its manufacturing footprint in India, Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn has commenced production of Apple AirPods at its Hyderabad facility, primarily targeting export markets.<\/span> Simultaneously, preparations are underway to initiate operations at Foxconn’s expansive plant in Bengaluru, aimed at scaling up iPhone production in the country.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

According to sources cited by Moneycontrol, the Hyderabad facility has started producing AirPods for export purposes.<\/span> The upcoming Bengaluru plant, located in Devanahalli, is poised to play a pivotal role in ramping up iPhone production, with a projected peak capacity of 20 million units annually.<\/span> This facility is set to be Foxconn’s second-largest outside China, established with an investment of $2.8 billion (approximately Rs 25,000 crore).<\/span> \u200b<\/p>\n

Analysts suggest that these developments align with Apple’s strategic objective to diversify its manufacturing base beyond China, especially in light of escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and associated tariffs.<\/span> Navkendar Singh, Associate Vice President at IDC India, remarked that expanding production in India is a logical step to reduce dependency on China and meet global demand, particularly from the U.S. market.<\/span> \u200b<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Apple has been progressively increasing its manufacturing activities in India.<\/span> In 2024, the company produced approximately 40\u201345 million iPhones annually in the country, accounting for about 18\u201320% of its global output.<\/span> Projections indicate that this share could rise to 25\u201330% by 2025, underscoring India’s growing significance in Apple’s global supply chain.<\/span> \u200b<\/p>\n

The initiation of AirPods production in Hyderabad and the forthcoming iPhone manufacturing in Bengaluru mark critical milestones in Apple’s efforts to establish India as a key manufacturing hub, thereby enhancing its resilience against geopolitical uncertainties and supply chain disruptions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
