As global supply chains shift, Apple is moving fast to build a strong base in India. The focus is no longer just on assembly. Now, it’s about value addition, core components, and cutting-edge machinery—all made in India.
Local players like Tata Electronics, Motherson Group, and Bharat Forge are becoming essential to Apple’s growing ecosystem. From iPhones to AirPods, the shift is massive and very real.
Why It Matters
This 20% milestone means India is no longer a sidekick. We’re on the main stage of global electronics manufacturing. With partners like Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata, the country is now home to five iPhone factories and counting.
Even high-value components, once sourced only from China or Taiwan, are now being developed with Indian joint ventures. Apple is working with Indian companies to reduce its dependence on China, especially amid rising global tensions and trade pressures.

Exports Are Soaring Too
Just in March, Apple exported 600 tonnes of iPhones worth $2 billion from India. And it’s just getting started.
The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro, expected to launch globally in September, will be mass-produced in India.
Meanwhile, Foxconn’s Hyderabad facility has started exporting AirPods, and its Bengaluru plant is gearing up for full-scale production. In May, Foxconn invested $1.5 billion into its India unit—its biggest commitment yet.
India’s Moment Is Here
Even as US President Donald Trump pushes Apple to boost U.S. production, India is pulling ahead by offering a full-scale manufacturing ecosystem. The Modi government’s push for local value addition is finally showing real, measurable results.
This isn’t just Apple’s win—it’s India’s big moment. The country is fast becoming a serious player in the global tech supply chain.
