Tata Group To Power Up Apple’s India Demand With Expanded iPhone Plant!

Apple is looking to increase iPhone production from India in the coming years and is said to want to expand its current lineup to show its focus and ambitions in the country. According to a report in the Economic Times this week, the Tata Group’s iPhone factory will be expanded over the next 18 months, helping the manufacturer double its capacity to produce iPhones for the market.

Apple is clearly looking at the Tata Group to step up its game and expand iPhone production, which will directly affect the number of people employed, which could rise to 28,000 with this expansion in the coming years. The report suggests that the company is looking at areas near its current plant to expand its base.

It’s interesting to see Apple relying on the Tata Group to manufacture iPhones, which is now also increasing its supply to key vendors such as Wistron and Foxconn, where the finished iPhones are packaged and sent to the market. The Tata Group had bought a factory from Wistron in India, which allowed the conglomerate to enter the smartphone manufacturing sector.

Apple’s focus on India has increased dramatically in recent years. The company wants to reduce its dependence on China for iPhone production for several reasons. Industry reports indicate that Apple will continue to expand its manufacturing needs in India by adding more MacBooks and iPads in the coming years. Apple has also used this time to set up its first exclusive retail stores in the country, specifically in Delhi and Mumbai.

More stores are on the way, but the iPhone manufacturer’s expansion in India will directly affect their pricing for the country’s consumers. The latest iPhone 15 model is manufactured in the country, which helps Apple keep prices at a more manageable level without having to pay heavy import duties.
