Apple has significantly expanded its iPhone production in India, assembling devices worth $22 billion in the fiscal year ending March 2025—a 60% increase from the previous year. India now manufactures one in every five iPhones globally. This shift is driven by escalating tariffs on Chinese imports, with the U.S. imposing duties totaling 145%. Foxconn leads production in southern India, while Tata Group has become a key player after acquiring Wistron and Pegatron operations. India exported iPhones worth Rs 1.5 trillion ($17.4 billion) in the past fiscal year, with shipments to the U.S. increasing notably following the announcement of new tariffs. This strategic pivot underscores Apple's move to diversify its supply chain away from China. (PC: British GQ & Firstpost)
