Foxconn's recall of over 300 Chinese engineers from Indian iPhone manufacturing plants, possibly prompted by Beijing, may disrupt short-term operations and affect the broader electronics manufacturing ecosystem. Indian firms are concerned about potential Chinese machinery access restrictions, which could hinder expansion, particularly affecting smaller companies reliant on affordable Chinese equipment. Despite potential challenges, experts believe major firms like Foxconn likely anticipated such geopolitical risks, and there may be opportunities for Indian firms to step up.

Apple is pivoting iPhone production towards India amidst U.S.-China trade tensions and tariffs, which complicate plans to move manufacturing from China. Although Foxconn and Tata Electronics are expanding in India under the PLI scheme, China still dominates Apple's production. The U.S. push for domestic production faces cost issues, with American-assembled iPhones being significantly more expensive. Apple's shift to India is contingent on evolving trade agreements and navigating delays from China regarding production equipment.

Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn is expanding its operations outside of China by investing millions of dollars in factories and land in countries like India, Mexico, and Thailand. This move is aimed at reducing their dependence on China and preparing for potential tariffs imposed by President-elect Donald Trump. Foxconn's global expansion would help insulate the company from the impact of these tariffs. However, replicating its manufacturing model outside of China could prove challenging, as the country has provided years of government-backed infrastructure investment. Additionally, Foxconn has a history of making investment promises that don't materialize in some instances.
