After all conflicts with the EU, Trump, China, etc. measures, it seems that Apple is trying to diversify the production of its devices and products in different countries, among which is India, the most profitable for them at this time, or at least at the level of tranquility and problems.
That is why, Foxconnone of the companies that assembles for Apple, would have acquired huge land to build a Housing factory in Indiathus being the supplier of the apple from there, with a lower cost of production, and a higher labor.
New Apple housing factory in India
Foxconn has begun to build a new plant in the ESR Industrial Park, in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu, India. The company has acquired land of about 500,000 square feet where a factory dedicated to the Production of housings for iPhone. This new installation will be right next to another Foxconn plant, currently in an advanced development phase, which will focus on assembling screen modules. Both facilities are designed to supply Apple.
The curious thing about this project is that it will be the first time that Foxconn Fabrique Caracas for iPhone in India. Until now, they were in the country, but they were limited to the assembly of phones in their Srperumbudur plant, which is quite close. With this expansion, Foxconn will become the second company that manufactures iPhone housings in the country. The first was Tata Electronics, which already has operations in Hosur, also in Tamil Nadu. Tata, who is currently Apple's main partner in India, is expanding its production to about 100,000 units.
All this is part of a broader Apple strategy for reduce its dependence on China and diversify their production chains, so it may happen. In 2023, Apple assembled more than 12 million iPhones in India, and the projections indicate that this figure could duplicate before 2025 ends.
Therefore, India becomes a very important country at the level of production of companies such as Apple, which, by demand and conflicts, could continue to bet more in the country, leaving China, since it seems to scare leaders such as Trump, which wants them far away, despite the fact that their country's companies need it.
And you, do you think this is good for everyone? The greatest production and lower cost of this makes the devices have better margins, which reduces their cost to the final customer, so we could see how at least the next iPhones do not rise in price. Leave us a comment with your opinion about it, and if you think Apple does well hiring companies that set up factories in India and other countries, or I should think about doing it in your own, even if it was more expensive.
