Govt tracks Chinese departures from Indian electronics units

India Jul 03, 2025

India is keeping a close eye as several key Chinese employees are leaving electronics factories, especially at Foxconn, which makes iPhones for Apple.
With tensions between India and China running high, this sudden exit could slow down production.
To keep things on track, the government is looking at training local talent or bringing in experts from Taiwan.

Foxconn's difficult situation

Foxconn now faces a tough spot—over 300 Chinese workers have left its southern India plants, making it harder to share important technical skills.
Plus, with China tightening exports on rare earth materials and certain capital equipment, companies are scrambling to find new ways to keep operations running smoothly in India.
