Apple now makes 25% of all iPhones in India
Big news: Apple is now making 25% of all iPhones in India. In 2025 alone, 55 million iPhones rolled out from Indian factories, a huge jump from the previous year (2024).
This shift helps Apple rely less on China, partly driven by US tariffs and trade tensions.
Exports and the PLI scheme
India isn't just building more iPhones: it's shipping them worldwide too.
Thanks to the government's PLI scheme, exports have grown since Apple began assembling iPhones in the country.
Apple's growing presence in India
Apple has five major plants in India (three run by Tata, two by Foxconn), supported by dozens of local suppliers.
The entire iPhone 17 lineup is now made locally. Plus, with six official stores and plans to launch Apple Pay soon, it's clear Apple sees India as a key market for both making and selling its products.
