iPhone will soon be available low cost in India:
Good news has come out for iPhone users in India. Apple's
supplier Foxconn is now going to start its plant in Bangalore soon. The
Bangalore plant will start in April 2024 and iPhones will start being made
there. The state government itself has been informed about this. The land for
the plant was given to Foxconn by the state government.
The cost of this project is said to be around 130 billion.
This plant will employ more than 50,000 people and with this, about 200 million
iPhones will be manufactured in India every year. Foxconn is the world's biggest manufacturer of electronic
products. Every year about 200 million iPhones of Foxconn will be produced only
in India's plant which is in Devanahalli, Bangalore.
Apple is slowly shifting its production from China to India
due to the ongoing differences between the US and China. The company is trying
to protect its business from damage caused by tensions between Beijing and
Washington. Foxconn give in a
statement to the London Stock Exchange last month, that it has acquired 1.2
million square meters (13 million square feet) of land at Devanahalli near the
Bangalore airport.
An amount of 37 million dollars i.e. about ₹ 303,73,63,300
has been paid for this land. That's why many media reports are also saying that
manufacturing in India will affect iPhone prices and in the future iPhones will
be available in India at lower prices.
Apart from India, Foxconn is also going to acquire 4,80,000 square meters of land in Vietnam, where it is also going to set up its manufacturing unit. Let us tell you that Foxconn's huge iPhone assembly complex in China's Zhengzhou unit currently employs more than 2 lakh employees. These numbers increase during the peak production season.
If
we talk in terms of India, then this investment of Foxconn is its biggest
single investment to date. Foxconn will complete this project in three phases
and when it is completed, the company will make more than 20 million iPhones
every year. That is, the company will manufacture 20 million iPhones in India.
