Make in India:- iPhone maker Foxconn to set up 10-12 manufacturing plants by 2020, create 1 million jobs: Chairman

By

  • Foxconn Technology Group, the world's largest contract manufacturer, is aiming to create at least a million jobs by setting up 10-12 manufacturing facilities across the country by 2020, its chairman said.
  • Terry Gou, head of the maker of iPhones and iPads for Apple and Kindles for Amazon, told reporters Friday on a short trip to India that Foxconn would look to set up the manufacturing plants, initially in five states including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra and expand to other states across the country by 2020. 
  • It also plans to set up including data centers and incubators in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. The company is also looking to invest in Indian internet start-ups, small-medium enterprises and handset makers. 
  • "We not just aim to create basic jobs but jobs for skilled manpower in the country," Gou said. He was in Delhi and Mumbai on Friday and will be in Bangalore on Saturday on a whistle-stop visit to India.
  • He however pointed out that electricity supply, water, logistics, manpower and different tax regulations are some of the hurdles that the government needs to take care of for Foxconn to establish its factories in the country.
  • Gou though added that the current government is far more supportive of manufacturing in India than the government 10 years back when it set up a manufacturing plant in Chennai. Foxconn has had to shut the plant due to continuing labour unrest. The component-making plant was a key supplier to Nokia, which shut operations last year.
