Foxconn, the Taiwanese contract manufacturer, is set to invest $1.54 billion in India, reinforcing the country's push for local manufacturing. While specific details were not provided, the investment aligns with Foxconn and Apple's strategy to diversify from China and establish alternative supply chains. Foxconn already operates an iPhone factory in Tamil Nadu, employing 40,000, and plans to invest in a new electronics components unit, creating 6,000 jobs. Additionally, the company will invest Rs 3,300 crore in its Telangana manufacturing facility, bringing its total investment in the state to over Rs 4,550 crore. The move reflects Foxconn's commitment to doubling its manufacturing capacity in India, endorsed by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Foxconn chairman Young Liu, optimistic about India's direction, recently attended the 'SemiconIndia 2023' event, highlighting the company's confidence in India's growth.
