The increase was swift, and even welcomed by politicians. India’s Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal said recently Apple has achieved new “success stories” in 2022: “They (Apple) already have 5-7% of their (iPhone) manufacturing in India. If I’m not mistaken, they want production to increase to 25%. They launched the latest model from India, and it is made in India. » This is the first time members of Narendra Modi’s government have confirmed the ambitions of an “Indian” Apple, which would in the medium term reallocate a quarter of iPhone production outside of China.
But things have gotten even better since Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister of Information Technology, tweeted a few hours ago that Apple has managed to export iPhones from India for 1 billion dollars, and this is in December alone! If we believe The Economic Times of India, Apple will even become the first mobile company based in India to pass the one billion dollar milestone of smartphones being exported to other countries. Currently, Apple has iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 14 Plus models manufactured in India, most of the iPhones are assembled at Foxconn and Pegatron factories.
