New Delhi. Indian giant Tata Group has taken a step towards bringing a big change in the tech industry by making a new investment of about ₹ 1,500 crore in the iPhone manufacturing sector. With this investment, the company aims to make India the major global manufacturing hub of Apple. This move comes at a time when Apple is gradually shifting its supply chain out of China to countries like India.
India’s increasing hold in iPhone manufacturing
According to reports, now more than 70% of iPhones sold in America are being manufactured in India. Companies like Tata Electronics and Foxconn have an important role in this.
Tata’s entry and ever-increasing investment has given India a strong position on the global electronics manufacturing map.
Big expansion with investment of ₹1,500 crore
Tata Sons has increased the authorized capital of its electronics unit to ₹6,250 crore. This clearly indicates that the company is preparing to increase its production capacity manifold in the coming years.
Additionally, Tata has already strengthened its hold in the iPhone supply chain by buying a 60% stake in Pegatron’s India unit.
Continuously increasing investment and production capacity
Tata Group has invested around ₹3,000 crore in Tata Electronics in FY26.
Over the past few years, the company has rapidly expanded its electronics business, increasing both production and exports.
The company’s operating income increased to ₹66,206 crore in FY25, showing a multifold increase over the previous year.
Big stake in semiconductor also
Tata is not limited to just iPhone manufacturing. The company is now also investing heavily in the semiconductor sector.
About $14 billion fabrication plant in Gujarat
Chip Assembly and Testing Unit in Assam
Both these projects will strengthen India towards technology self-reliance.
India can become a global tech hub
Experts believe that the partnership between Tata and Apple can make India a global center of electronics manufacturing.
Challenging China’s dominance, India is rapidly becoming a strong part of the new supply chain.
