Foxconn, the renowned Taiwan-based electronics manufacturing giant and a key supplier to tech giant Apple, is setting its sights on an ambitious expansion plan in India. V Lee, Foxconn’s representative in India, revealed in a recent LinkedIn post, timed to coincide with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 73rd birthday, that the company has its sights set on doubling its workforce, foreign direct investment (FDI), and overall business presence in India within the next year.
While precise details were not disclosed in the post, this announcement follows Foxconn’s rapid expansion in India, where it has been heavily investing in manufacturing facilities, particularly in the southern regions of the country.
One of Foxconn’s significant operations in India includes an iPhone manufacturing factory located in the state of Tamil Nadu, where it currently employs an impressive workforce of 40,000 people. Additionally, the state of Karnataka recently unveiled that Foxconn is set to invest a substantial $600 million in two projects. These projects are aimed at producing casing components for iPhones and chip-making equipment, further solidifying Foxconn’s footprint in India.
Foxconn’s Chairman, Liu Young-way, has been vocal about the immense potential he sees in India. In a recent earnings briefing, he emphasized that the company’s several billion-dollar investments in India are just the beginning. This sentiment underscores Foxconn’s long-term commitment to leveraging India’s burgeoning market and manufacturing capabilities.
As Foxconn positions itself for exponential growth in India, its expanding presence not only signals a boost to the Indian economy but also underscores the country’s growing prominence as a global hub for electronics manufacturing. Foxconn’s ambitious plans in India are poised to reshape the landscape of technology manufacturing in the country, ushering in new opportunities and economic growth on a grand scale.
