Make in India: Apple starts making iphone 11 in Foxconn’s Chennai plant

In a boost to Make in India campaign, Apple has started manufacturing iPhone 11 in India, reported Economic Times. Apple is manufacturing its flagship phone in Foxconn’s Chennai plant. This is the first time that Apple has brought manufacturing of its flagship phone to India.

This move gives a great push to Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. It also reduces Apple’s dependence on China. Production will be stepped up to export India-made iPhones. There is no clarity on price cuts but manufacturing in India saves Apple 22 per cent in duties, said the report.

Apple is said to be considering a plan to make the new iPhone SE at the Wistron plant near Bengaluru, the executives told Economic Times.
