Recall of Chinese engineers from Foxconn India factory is opportunity for India: Govt source

New Delhi [India]July 11 (Memorial): A senior government official said that the recall of Chinese employees from the Foxconn Indian Factory, which produces Apple iPhones, will not affect mobile production in India. The authority added that there is actually an opportunity for India.

“I would look at this as a more opportunity. If the workers want to return, between the company and the workers. They will have to make arrangements to ensure that the work will continue – production will not be affected.” He said.

“Apple has alternatives when it comes to. Primary responsibility lies with Apple to ensure that the manufacturer does not affect the production.”

According to reports last week, more than 300 Chinese workers left Foxconn’s southern Indian plants.

Although the exact reasons behind the recall are unclear, Beijing is linked to a wider strategy to limit technology transfers and equipment exports to India and Southeast Asia.

Foxconn operates facilities in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and TaLangana.

In the recent 2024-25 financial year, Apple has collected iphone in India, iphone worth $ 14 billion-produced by Foxconn, Pegatron and Tata Group in India.

In 2017, Apple began to produce iPhones in India. It is likely that the production -related incentive (PLI) plan presented by the central government will attract several GADGET manufacturers, including Apple, to establish an asset in the country.

In India, iPhone production could be almost neglected about ten years ago. Apple is now producing the latest iPhone versions in India. The iPhone manufacturer is expanding its existence in India, a key market with a large population and the fastest growing economy among major economies.

The iPhone manufacturer was released in India, one in Delhi and the other in Mumbai in 2023.
