American multinational technology company, Apple, has set out to start the production of one of its products, airpods, in India.
The company which already makes iPhones in India, is set to add airpods to the list of made-in-India, and may begin by December next year.
According to PTI, citing industry sources, Apple is expected to begin production by December 2024.
The company already assembles non-Pro iPhones in India with partners, including Foxconn, Wistron in Bengaluru, and Pegatron in Tamil Nadu. The company may expand AirPods production to other factories later, as was the case with iPhones in India.
The report, quoting a source, adds, “Foxconn Hyderabad factory will make AirPods. The factory is expected to begin mass production by December.”
The information was confirmed by another source privy to the development.
It remains unclear whether Apple will manufacture the Pro (and more expensive) variant of AirPods in India.
The company and Foxconn have not confirmed the development yet.
