Foxconn’s $1.5 Billion Power Play: Tamil Nadu Emerges as Apple’s iPhone Superhub

  • Foxconn’s Singapore-based subsidiary has injected a whopping $1.5 billion (approx. ₹12,500 crore) into its Indian arm, Yuzhan Technology India, marking one of the largest single foreign investments in the country’s electronics sector.

  • Yuzhan Technology India, located in Tamil Nadu, is a key manufacturer of electronic components and a vital assembly hub for Apple’s iPhones, cementing the state’s reputation as India’s “iPhone capital.”

  • The investment comes as Apple accelerates its strategy to diversify production outside China, with Foxconn driving the shift by ramping up Indian output to meet global demand.

  • Foxconn’s India revenue has more than doubled to over $20 billion in FY25, fueled by surging iPhone production and exports.

  • The move aligns with Apple CEO Tim Cook’s recent announcement that a majority of iPhones sold in the US during the June quarter will be sourced from India, signaling a major shift in the global supply chain.

  • Government sources estimate that India now accounts for 15% of Apple’s global iPhone output, with ambitions to produce 60 million units domestically this fiscal year.

  • The capital infusion also strengthens India’s ambitions to become a global electronics manufacturing powerhouse, as the country pushes ahead with new semiconductor and component projects.
