iPhone 13 (Pic Via Apple Website)Tawanese firm Pegatron, which is Apple's second largest contract manufacturer, is reportedly planning to start manufacturing of iPhone devices in India from next month and has set a target of producing goods worth Rs 8,000 crore in India in the financial year 2022-23, reports Economic Times.

It should be noted that Apple's other contract manufacturers, Foxconn and Wistron, are already producing the iPhone devices from their facilities in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively.
