Global technology giant Apple Inc. has sharply increased its manufacturing footprint in India, boosting iPhone production in the country by around 53 percent last year. With this expansion, approximately 25 percent of Apple’s flagship iPhones are now produced in India, marking a major shift in the company’s global supply chain strategy.
The move comes as Apple continues efforts to diversify production away from China, where the company has traditionally manufactured most of its devices. India has emerged as a key alternative manufacturing hub due to its growing electronics ecosystem, government incentives, and expanding skilled workforce.
Industry analysts say the rapid growth of iPhone production in India highlights the country’s rising importance in global electronics manufacturing. Several Apple suppliers have already expanded their facilities in the country to support the company’s production targets.
The increase in manufacturing is also aligned with India’s Make in India initiative, which encourages global companies to establish production bases within the country. By strengthening local manufacturing, Apple aims to improve supply chain resilience while meeting the growing global demand for iPhones.
As Apple continues to scale operations, India is expected to play an even larger role in the company’s future manufacturing strategy, potentially becoming one of the primary hubs for iPhone production worldwide.
