Government fully committed to support and facilitate Foxconn’s plans in India: IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

Minister for electronics & information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday said the government was “fully committed” to Foxconn’s plans to expand its manufacturing footprint in the country.

“Fully committed to support and facilitate,” Vaishnaw said on X (formerly Twitter) and quoted the Foxconn India representative V Lee’s LinkedIn post on Sunday where he had wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of his birthday and said the Taiwanese contract manufacturer was “aiming for another doubling of employment, FDI (foreign direct investment), and business size in India” by this time next year.
