Apple Reaffirms Commitment to India Amid Political Remarks

A prominent political figure recently stated in Doha that he had urged Apple's CEO not to increase manufacturing operations in India, instead suggesting the company should build more in the United States.

Following these remarks, Apple assured the Indian government that its commitment to India as a major manufacturing base remains strong and that there would be no changes to its investment plans.

The Indian government responded by emphasizing India's growing status as a competitive mobile manufacturing hub, attracting global companies based on industrial strengths rather than political influence.

• Apple’s manufacturing in India has seen significant growth, especially in iPhone production.
• A considerable portion of global iPhones is now made in India through contract manufacturers.
• Apple plans to further expand its Indian operations for both domestic and export markets.
• India may become a central hub for iPhones destined for the U.S. market.

Apple’s renewed commitment strengthens India’s position in the global tech manufacturing landscape.
