Before a few days back Donald Trump says Apple that they don’t need to work with India or Indian companies, and Now Apple is working with 17 Indian companies to make more parts and products in India.
This will reduce Apple’s dependency on China. Apple wants to make iPhones and other devices in India because it’s very cost effective for Apple and many people use Apple products there and the demand is growing very fast. It is also safer for Apple to have factories in different countries.
These 17 Indian companies will help Apple by making phone parts, assembling iPhones, and giving important materials as they want. And this move will create more jobs in India and help local businesses become global suppliers. Apple will be able to deliver products faster and avoid problems if there are issues in China.
Here are the names of the 17 Indian companies Apple is teaming up with:
- Tata Electronics
- Murugappa Group
- Salcomp
- Foxconn India
- Dixon Technologies
- Wistron India
- Optiemus Electronics
- Sunwoda Electronics
- SiiC
- UTL Neolyncs
- Lava International
- CCL Design
- Jabil India
- Flex India
- BYD India
- Sahasra Electronics
- Pegatron India
These companies will help make screens, batteries, wires, chips, and other important phone parts. Some will also assemble the iPhones in India. The goal is to grow Apple’s business in India and make the country a big part of their supply chain.
This is a very big step for the Indian technology industry. It will help India become an important player in phone manufacturing. Many young people in India will get new jobs and learn new skills. All these changes will also help Apple to sell more products in India and give better service to the customers.
In the future, more phones and other Apple devices will be made in India. This will reduce Apple’s need for China and make its business stronger around the world.
