Foxconn hires 30,000 for new iPhone factory near Bengaluru

Business Dec 22, 2025

Foxconn, Apple's main manufacturing partner, just hired nearly 30,000 people—mostly in just a few months—for its huge new iPhone assembly plant in Devanahalli, near Bengaluru.
This is the fastest hiring spree any Indian factory has seen and is part of Apple's move to shift more production out of China.

Young women lead the workforce—and big plans ahead

About 80% of workers at the new plant are young women between 19 and 24, assembling iPhone 17 Pro Max models mainly for export.
Foxconn plans to double its staff to 50,000 during peak times next year.
With ₹20,000 crore invested and a mini township in the works for employees, this site is set to become India's largest phone-making hub—helping boost local jobs and India's role in Apple's global supply chain.
