Foxconn Plans Major Expansion with 300-Acre Facility in Greater Noida

 

 

Apple’s key manufacturing partner, Foxconn India, is exploring a major expansion plan with a proposed 300-acre facility in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, along the fast-developing Yamuna Expressway. If approved, this would mark Foxconn’s first manufacturing unit in North India, potentially larger than its upcoming Bengaluru plant.

The move aligns with India’s growing ambitions to become a global hub in the electronics manufacturing and semiconductor production sectors. With Uttar Pradesh industrial projects gaining momentum, this investment is expected to significantly contribute to the state’s industrial growth while also diversifying Foxconn’s manufacturing footprint beyond South India.

Government discussions are currently in early stages, and the exact product lines—whether smartphones, components, or semiconductors—have not been finalized. However, the facility is expected to play a crucial role in reducing global supply chain risks for Foxconn by localizing production and tapping into India's skilled labor pool and favorable policy environment.

The proposed factory could generate approximately 40,000 new jobs, giving a substantial boost to local employment and the broader Indian economy. As the global spotlight continues to shift toward India for alternative manufacturing destinations, Foxconn’s expansion could become a pivotal moment in accelerating the Make in India initiative and reinforcing India’s position in the global technology supply chain.
