Apple is part of India’s PLI Scheme
Apple’s three contract manufacturers (Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron) are part of India’s Rs. 41,000 crore Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. This scheme has led to increased iPhone production in India. In 2020, the Indian government initiated the PLI scheme. Through this scheme, foreign companies are incentivized to take advantage of local production, and they also receive encouragement for it.
