It had offered several incentives such as plug-and-play manufacturing clusters in order to lure these contract assemblers into India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though there is speculation that these measures are part of Apple&#8217;s move to shift out a substantial chunk of its iPhone production base out of China, there has been no official word from the Cupertino-based tech giant on whether increased US-China tensions is driving them towards reducing their dependence on China. CEO Tim Cook had said so when Apple was forced to shut down operations following the Wuhan pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Foxconn, which operates a manufacturing unit at Sriperumbudur, about 50 kms west of Chennai, is reportedly investing a billion dollars to expand the capacity of this unit and would be completed within a three-year time frame. The upgraded plant could provide employment to an additional 6000 workers, reports had said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For assemblers like Foxconn and Pegatron, tapping the exports market would be a big opportunity, given the growing tensions between Washington and Beijing. Pegatron CEO Liao Syh-jang had told investors during an earnings call in March that the company was looking to expand overseas production facilities depending on client requirements and incentives offered by host countries.<\/p>\n<p>Though Apple&#8217;s India turnover last year stood around $1.5 billion of which around $1 billion came from iPhone sales, this accounts only for a small percentage of locally manufactured devices. Foxconn and Wistron have been assembling iPhone 7 and the iPhone XR from their India facilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/apple-watch-6\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">Apple Watch 6 release date, price, news and rumors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/new-iphone-12\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">New iPhone 12 release date, leaks, price, news and everything you need to know<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/new-iphone-12\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/new-iphone-12<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Raj Narayan <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Raj Narayan <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">Follows Foxconn and Wistron (Image credit: Future) Barely days after reports surfaced of Apple&rsquo;s assembly partner&nbsp;Foxconn&nbsp;planning a major investment in India to set up manufacturing units, another of the iPhone maker&rsquo;s partners is now ready to follow suit.
