Foxconn, the electronics manufacturing giant, is doubling its investment in India with an additional $1.54 billion for a new manufacturing plant to produce iPhones. The expansion into India is a significant move for Apple's #MakeInIndia initiative. However, Foxconn is facing challenges in India, including culture clashes, language barriers, and difficulty in replicating the stringent work environment of its Chinese factories. Despite this, Foxconn has managed to manufacture the iPhone 15 in India for the first time, marking a milestone for the country's iPhone production. Recently, heavy rains in Chennai have led to the halt of iPhone production at Foxconn and Pegatron facilities, impacting Apple's supply chain diversification strategy and raising concerns about meeting local production targets due to proposed USB-C charger rules in India.
