Foxconn is mulling to move production of iPhone and Amazon Echo from China to India.
This is owing to the *Trump* trade war between China and US, though the reality is that India and Vietnam still do not offer a great alternative to China’s manufacturing scale.
If this happens, it will be a huge success to Make in India campaign.
Make in India now has over 268 mobile handset and accessories brands producing their goods in the country. Currently, over 95% of phones and accessories used in India are being manufactured locally and these factories employ over 6.7 lakh people
Note that Foxconn hasn’t yet decided – sometimes such ‘media coverage’ is part of a long-term negotiation plan.
