Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to significantly increase production in India by more than five-fold to around $40 billion over the next 4-5 years, Indian newswire PTI reported, citing government sources.
According to the report, the iPhone maker crossed the $7 billion production mark in the last financial year. Apple (AAPL) makes some of its iPhones in India and plans to start manufacturing AirPods in the country next year.
Apple is on a multiyear project to branch out its production away from China, de-risking the supply chain for its vital products as tensions between the U.S. and China make trade less predictable.

Earlier this year, the California-based tech giant opened stores in Mumbai and New Delhi, and its major iPhone assembler Foxconn said it was starting production of the new iPhone 15 at a facility in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
