Citing the ministry of electronics and information technology, a leading television channel has quoted that Technology giant Apple plans to manufacture its AirPods in India.
This comes days after Japanese website Nikkei had reported about the Cupertino-based technology giant asking the production of AirPods and Beat headphones to be moved to India. Earlier, Apple had announced its plans to start manufacturing iPhone 14 in India, which it had launched on September 14th.
Apple is already manufacturing iPhone 13 in India and is also planning to assemble iPad tablets.
According to a Bloomberg report, iPhone exports from India have already crossed $1 billion in the past five months and are set to reach $2.5 billion in the next 12 months. After the iPhone maker's decision to diversify from China, countries like India, Mexico and Vietnam have become important to contract manufacturers supplying American brands. This also comes amid Covid-19 lockdowns in China and the tensions between Washington DC and Beijing.
