Foxconn aims to double jobs, investment in India over next 12 months

(Reuters) - Apple supplier Foxconn aims to double its workforce and investment in India by next year, a company executive said on Sunday.

Taiwan-based Foxconn, the world's largest contract manufacturer of electronics, has rapidly expanded its presence in India by investing in manufacturing facilities in the south of the country as the company seeks to move away from China.

V Lee, Foxconn's representative in India, in a LinkedIn post to mark Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 73rd birthday, said the company was "aiming for another doubling of employment, FDI (foreign direct investment), and business size in India" by this time next year.

He did not give more details.

Foxconn already has an iPhone factory in the state of Tamil Nadu, which employs 40,000 people.

In August, the state of Karnataka said Foxconn will invest $600 million for two projects in the state to make casing components for iPhones and chip-making equipment.

The company's Chairman Liu Young-way said in an earnings briefing last month that he sees a lot of potential in India, adding: "several billion dollars in investment is only a beginning".

(路透社) - 蘋果供應商富士康的一位高層週日表示，該公司計劃到明年將其在印度的勞動力和投資增加一倍。

總部位於台灣的富士康是全球最大的電子產品合約製造商，在尋求撤離中國之際，該公司透過在印度南部投資製造設施，迅速擴大了在印度的業務。

富士康駐印度代表V Lee 在LinkedIn 上發文紀念印度總理莫迪73 歲生日表示, 該公司到他明年生日的「目標是讓印度的就業人數、外國直接投資(FDI) 和企業規模再次翻一番」。

他沒有透露更多細節。

富士康已經在泰米爾納德邦擁有一家 iPhone 工廠，擁有 4 萬名員工。

8 月，卡納塔克邦表示，富士康將投資 6 億美元用於該州的兩個項目，生產 iPhone 外殼組件和晶片製造設備。

該公司董事長 Liu Young-way 在上個月的財報發布會上表示，他看到了印度的巨大潛力，並補充說：「數十億美元的投資只是一個開始」。

So, Foxconn is expanding its presence in India by investing more in manufacturing facilities as it seeks to move away from China. I am wondering whether this will affect China’s iPhone production.
