"Foxconn's plant situated in Telangana's Kongara Kalan reportedly began the production of Apple AirPods models earlier this year, in April. The contract manufacturer is said to be importing machinery to India from its factories in Vietnam to facilitate the same. Moreover, the company is planning to overhaul five of its production lines to make new AirPods models, which could be the recently launched AirPods Pro 3."
"The Cupertino tech giant is said to be making the move to match its production capacity with the increased international demand. Foxconn's subsidiary is planning to increase the monthly AirPods manufacturing capacity of its Hyderabad plant to 2,00,000, increasing from its current capacity of about 1,00,000. As of now, the facility reportedly has around 2,000 employees. Post-overhaul, after six to eight months, this number is said to jump to 5,000, more than doubling."
Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) will expand its Hyderabad AirPods manufacturing facility in Telangana's Kongara Kalan, increasing monthly output from about 100,000 units to 200,000. The plant began producing AirPods models in April and will import machinery from Vietnam while overhauling five production lines to assemble new models, potentially AirPods Pro 3. Workforce is expected to grow from roughly 2,000 employees to about 5,000 within six to eight months. The expansion involves an investment of around Rs. 4,800 crore. The move aligns with Apple's broader strategy to shift production from China to India and increase local device assembly.
