Apple to not make iPads, Mac PCs but may manufacture AirPods in India

Apple Inc is unlikely to manufacture iPads and Mac personal computers in India but it may start making AirPods here, a report by The Economic Times (ET) said. This comes amid reports that the Cupertino-based tech giant may soon start producing all its major products in India.

“While the finer details of Apple manufacturing were not discussed during Cook’s visit, Apple has not expressed interest in making Mac PCs here (in India),” an official was quoted as saying in the ET report.

For Mac manufacturing, Centre is expecting Apple to come on board as a part of its new production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for IT hardware, which will be announced soon.
