Foxconn, the primary assembler of Apple’s iPhones, has announced a significant investment of $1.5 billion into its Indian subsidiary, as Apple seeks to diversify its manufacturing operations beyond China. This investment, made through Foxconn’s Singapore-based entity into Hon Hai Technology India Mega Development, is expected to bolster India’s role as a key hub in Apple’s global supply chain. The move comes as Apple produced approximately $22 billion worth of iPhones in India in the fiscal year ending March 2025. In addition to expanding manufacturing capacity, Foxconn is exploring opportunities in India’s semiconductor sector, partnering with HCL Group to establish a semiconductor packaging and testing facility. This strategic shift underscores India’s growing prominence in global electronics manufacturing.
