Now india is becoming Apple's hub, not China!
apple Inc. has manufactured iPhones worth $22 billion in india in the last 12 months, which is about 60 percent more than last year. people familiar with the matter say that today 20 percent of iPhones or one in five iPhones are now manufactured in this South Asian country.
The company is moving from china to India
This shows that apple and its suppliers are now moving out of china to India. Amidst this growing threat of trade war, apple is insisting on setting up its manufacturing unit outside China. This is also because the US reciprocal tariff on china is 145 percent compared to India's 26 percent tariff. It is being told that due to Trump's tariff policy, the shipment of iPhones from india to America has increased. This process started during the time of the Corona epidemic, when apple turned to india from china after the functioning of some factories was affected due to the 'Zero Covid Policy'.
iPhones worth so many billion dollars were exported
Most of the iPhones made in india are assembled at the Foxconn technology Group factory located in South India. Apple's major suppliers in india are Foxconn, Wistron, Pegatron and Tata Electronics. The country's technology minister said on april 8, out of India's total production, apple exported iPhones worth Rs 1.5 trillion ($17.4 billion) from the region in the financial year till march 2025.
apple now assembles its entire range of iPhones in india, including the titanium Pro models. Foxconn and Dixon Technologies, which make apple iPhones in india, have received subsidies under the government's PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme to promote electronics manufacturing in india and attract foreign investment.
