iPhones could be manufactured in India as Foxconn might setup a plant in Maharashtra

Apple iPhone could be manufactured in India as the Maharashtra State government is reportedly keen on attracting companies such as Foxcon from China. So, this could be an opportunity for many Indians consumers to flaunt the premium ‘Made in India’ iPhone very soon.

A report  says, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis who visited China in PM Narendra Modi’s recent delegation, also visited Foxconn’s manufacturing facility in the Henan province. To believe Fadnavis, the State governemnet was in talks for setting up a manufacturing plant in Maharatsra as well. Fadnavis also told DNA that a possible site for the plant, which would need a ‘huge investment’, could either be Pune or Aurangabad.

Fadnavis said, “Our country is rapidly urbanising, so our PM has unveiled his vision of making smart cities. India’s most urbanised state, Maharashtra has much to contribute to it and thus would welcome Chinese expertise and investment in this sector”.

He added, “I would look forward to more Chinese investments in Maharashtra in future. I am planning a special visit to the province Qingdao to learn from Chinese infrastructure development in coastal area.”

Fadnavis noted, every third person in the world is either Chinese or Indian. As a matter of fact, both the two countries contributed 50 percent in the world economy in 1850.

“Our country is rapidly urbanising, so our PM has unveiled his vision of making smart cities. India’s most urbanised state, Maharashtra has much to contribute to it and thus would welcome Chinese expertise and investment in this sector,” Fadnavis said.
He further added, “I am planning a special visit to the province Qingdao to learn from Chinese infrastructure development in coastal area.”

He said, “China has been a significant investor in Maharashtra, investing $350 million as of now. We will also establish Chinese language/cultural study centre in memory of Prof JiXianLin who translated Ramayana in Chinese. I believe in cooperative federalism and development for all”
