Apple to scale up production over five times in India to $40 billion

iPhone maker Apple has plans to scale up production in India by over five-fold to around $40 billion (about 3.32 lakh crore) in the next four-five years, according to government sources. The official, who did not wish to be named, said the company has crossed the $7-billion production mark in the last financial year.

An email query sent to Apple did not elicit any reply.

Apple manufactures iPhones in India and plans to start manufacturing Airpods next year. The officer said Apple has no immediate plans to make iPads or its laptops in India.
