The mass production of cables for premium electronics manufacturer Apple will start in India by the end of this year as Taiwan-based cable and connector maker Cheng Uei Precision Industry, commonly known as Foxlink sets up a new plant in Chennai, Bloomberg has reported.
This development comes at a time when other Apple contractors like Foxconn, Pegatron and Wistron have set up either manufacturing plants or subsidiaries in India. Foxlink had also announced a subsidiary in Andhra Pradesh in March with an initial investment of Rs 16 crore.
It was earlier reported that Apple contractors Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron had applied for manufacturing of mobile phones in India under the government’s Production-Linked Incentive scheme.
It was also reported that Apple's upcoming flagship smartphone the iPhone 12 will be Made in India and Taiwanese contract manufacturer Wistron has planned an investment of Rs 2,900 crore to ramp up its Bengaluru facility. Wistron used to manufacture Apple's budget iPhone SE in this plant.
Similarly in July Foxconn had started manufacturing the flagship iPhone 11 device at its plant near Chennai.
