Apple iPad production in India: After iPhones, the-US tech giant Apple is likely planning to manufacture some of its iPads in India. According to a report, the brand has discussed relocating some iPad manufacturing to India with Indian officials, but there are hurdles to overcome, such as manufacturing expertise.
"As per CNBC, Apple has discussed relocating some iPad manufacturing to India with Indian officials, but there are hurdles to overcome, such as manufacturing expertise. There have been no concrete plans established as of yet, but discussions are ongoing, and Apple is motivated to expand manufacturing in countries outside of China," MacRumors reported.
According to IANS, the Cupertino-based company is planning to shift iPad manufacturing to India as the company looks to move up to 30 per cent of its manufacturing outside of China. The report said that no concrete plans have been made yet, "but if the effort is successful, it would expand Apple's footprint in the country".
Apple did not comment on the report. In India, Apple iPads logged an impressive 34 per cent growth (on-year) in India in the second quarter (Q2) and the company sold over 0.2 million devices in the country, according to CMR.
Apple iPad (Gen 9) and iPad Air 2022 accounted for a lion's share of the iPad shipments, according to the CMR Q2 data. The launch of the iPhone 14 models marked the first time that Apple used India for the manufacturing of flagship iPhones, and some of the iPhone 14 models are assembled in India.
Apple supplier Foxconn has also been investing in India, and Apple is said to be aiming to produce approximately 25 percent of iPhones in India by 2025. Other Apple suppliers such as Wistron and Pegatron have expanded to India to help Apple expand manufacturing outside of China as part of a long term goal.
