Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, has received approval from Taiwan’s ministry of economic affairs to invest over $2.2 Bn in India and the US.
A significant part of the investment, $1.49 Bn, will flow into Yuzhan Technology (India) Private Limited, a Foxconn entity, to establish a new manufacturing facility targeting smartphone components in India.
Foxconn aims to bolster iPhone manufacturing in India and expand its production capacity, with plans to build new facilities in Tamil Nadu and near Bengaluru airport, investing INR 25,000 Cr.
The investment is part of Foxconn’s strategy to diversify manufacturing operations amidst US-China trade tensions, including increasing semiconductor and battery manufacturing efforts in India.
