Apple is planning to start production of Airpods for exports at the Foxconn plant in Hyderabad, per sources.
Apple is planning to start production of Airpods for exports at the Foxconn plant in Hyderabad from April, sources said.
Airpods will be the second product category that Apple will start producing in India after iPhones.
"Production of Airpods is going to start in India at Foxconn's Hyderabad facility. It will begin from April but it will be only for exports as of now," an industry source told PTI.
Foxconn had approved $400 million, about ₹3,500 crore, to set up the factory in August 2023.
Apple has been a leader in the global TWS (true wireless device) segment.
According to Canalys, the company had 23.1% market share in 2024 -- about three times more than its nearest competitor Samsung that the research firm estimates to be around 8.5%.
Airpods production in India assumes significance amid speculation that Apple may cut production in the country in the aftermath of reciprocal tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump and especially after the company announced $500 billion investment in the US over the next four years in manufacturing units.
