AsianFin -- India does not anticipate major disruptions to Foxconn’s operations in the country, even after the iPhone assembler asked some employees from China to return home in recent months, a senior Indian government official said this week.
“Although some of the Chinese workers had to leave because they were asked to return, operations did not really suffer significantly,” S. Krishnan, secretary of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, told reporters in Taipei, commenting on Foxconn’s India operations.
The remarks suggest that Foxconn, a key Apple supplier, has managed to maintain production continuity at its Indian facilities despite temporary staffing changes. India has been promoting local electronics manufacturing as part of its broader “Make in India” initiative, and Foxconn’s sustained operations highlight the country’s growing role in global tech supply chains.
