Foxconn Technology plant in India to assemble Apple AirPods in India

For Foxconn the $200 million investment in the new factory comes over and above the Rs 1,000 crore it has invested in its unit in Tamil Nadu to make iPhones under the PLI scheme

Foxconn Technology Group is working out modalities to set up a plant in India to assemble Apple AirPods, according to sources close to the discussions. Talks are on whether to set up the unit in Telangana or Karnataka. The investment is likely at around $200 million.

The Taiwanese company had a few days ago, during the visit of Foxconn global Chief Executive Officer Young Lui to India, signed MoUs to invest in these states for electronics manufacturing. A query to Foxconn India representative V Lee, however, did not elicit any response. Apple did not respond to a query, either.
