Foxconn is Apple’s largest contract manufacturer in India. Apple is planning to increase production in India. For this, a new big plant is being built in Bengaluru. It is expected to start production soon. Foxconn is going to hire 1,000 new people in India by mid -July. This will make the number of its employees in India to around 40,000. Foxconn has started a separate construction of airpods in Hyderabad, which is for export.
iPhone 17 series plans also affected
Another source said that the decision to withdraw Chinese employees from Foxconn factory in India may also affect Apple’s export schemes for the new iPhone 17 series. In particular, the Pro Line-up, which is the responsibility of Foxconn, may be affected. The Taiwan company started trial production of new models earlier this year. Tata Electronics is helping trial production. Apple launched the iPhone 17 series in mid -September.
Low supply of rare minerals is a major problem
“Foxconn can replace employees from Taiwan and Vietnam in place of employees returning to China. If this happens, it will not affect Apple’s plans, as the company has a lot of financial strength. However, the supply of rare earth minerals can be a major problem for Apple.” It is important to note that China is still the biggest manufacturing hub for Apple. However, in the last few years, Foxconn has increased its production in India.
