Apple's Manufacturing Expansion in India Promises 600,000 Jobs
Apple's Commitment to India
Apple is rapidly expanding its manufacturing operations in India, aiming to create a staggering 600,000 jobs by the end of the fiscal year. This growth is driven by the company's commitment to diversifying production beyond China, leveraging local contract manufacturers such as Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron.
Employment Opportunities
- Direct Jobs: 200,000
- Female Workforce: 70%
- Indirect Jobs: Estimated tripling effect
The success of Apple’s manufacturing ecosystem has led to the creation of over 165,000 direct jobs under the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme initiated in 2020. With ambitious production targets met in record time, Apple's supply chain adjustments reflect a strong commitment to the Indian market.
Future Prospects
With facilities like Tata's twin site in Tamil Nadu poised to hire 50,000 employees, Apple's trajectory in India shows no signs of slowing. Industry experts highlight that Apple parallels its China model within India, facilitating a comprehensive job creation approach that extends beyond immediate manufacturing roles.
