Apple's largest iPhone assembler, Foxconn, plans to quadruple the number of workers at its Indian facility to build more iPhone units.
There's no denying that Apple would love to move production of its devices, especially the iPhone, out of China. The tensions between the U.S. and the Communist Chinese government worry Apple and the company would rather move production to an area that is not a possible hotspot.
A Foxconn source in Taiwan familiar with the matter says that the expansion of capacity at its factory in India will allow Foxconn to not only meet growing domestic demand in the world's second-largest smartphone market, but it will also allow the firm to build more basic iPhone units for global distribution. This source added,"We are gradually increasing our production scale there.
Even at 70,000, admittedly a huge increase, the number of workers at Foxconn's India plant would still dwarf the 200,000 workers who toil at the contract manufacturer's Zhengzhou factory in China. It still is a huge commitment by Apple and Foxconn and over the next two years, Apple could look to increase orders to suppliers who ship to the factory in India. Apple will also look to increase its supply chain in the region.
