Apple Plans Ambitious iPhone Production Ramp Up In India, Targets $12B Value By 2023-24
Portfolio Pulse from Shomik Sen Bhattacharjee
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is set to increase iPhone production in India, targeting a $12 billion FOB value by 2023-24, exceeding its initial plan and its full-year commitment under India's PLI scheme. With $9.4 billion worth of iPhones already produced in the first three quarters of FY 2024, only a quarter will be sold in India, while the rest are for export. Apple's India sector turnover was $5.94 billion for FY23, 1.5% of its global turnover. Exports peaked at 80% in Q4 FY 2024, coinciding with the iPhone 15 launch and festive demand. JP Morgan forecasts that by 2026, up to 25% of iPhone production could shift to India.
