Apple has already expanded its iPhone production to India via different contract manufacturers. Now, it appears that the largest facility for iPhone production will be established by the Tata Group. So here are all the details.

Tata’s new iPhone factory will be set up in Tamil Nadu

For those unaware, the Apple iPhone is manufactured in facilities from other known suppliers like Foxconn and Wistron. Interestingly, the latter recently struck a deal with Tata, which helped the Indian giant become the first homegrown iPhone maker. Tata Group will be constructing the massive iPhone assembly plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu (South Indian State). This large facility is in line with the Cupertino based giant’s plans to expand iPhone manufacturing in India.

The new Tata iPhone factory is expected to have 20 assembly lines and will create a large number of jobs over the next two years since it could bring in up to 50,000 workers. The new site is expected to become operational within the next 12 to 18 months. Apple is working on expanding its Indian production for iPhones to diversify its supply chain outside of China. The company and its suppliers aim to make over 50 million iPhones annually in India over the course of the next two to three years. Its plans are also bolstered by incentives from the local government.

The PLIs (production-linked incentives) have encouraged key Apple suppliers like Foxconn and Pegatron to increase their foothold in the Indian market. Thanks to such incentives, iPhone assembly in the region has risen significantly, exceeding 7 billion US Dollars in the previous fiscal year and even accounting for 7 percent of Apple’s global production share. The new facility also showcases the growing strategic partnership between Apple and the Tata Group.
