Apple to begin assembling THIS product in India: Here’s what the report suggests

Live Mint  

Apple is reportedly set to begin assembling its popular AirPods wireless earphones in India, marking a major step in the company's ongoing efforts to expand its manufacturing footprint beyond China. According to a Bloomberg report, Foxconn Technology Group, a key Apple supplier, is preparing to begin AirPods production at a new facility near Hyderabad, Telangana, as early as the first quarter of 2024. India's growing role as a manufacturing hub for Apple is expected to significantly boost the company's export figures, with a large portion of the AirPods produced in the country likely destined for global markets. Although China and Vietnam currently dominate the assembly of AirPods, India’s emergence as a key player in Apple’s supply chain reflects the company's broader efforts to diversify its production base, the report added.
