Recently, Apple has been growing its supplier network in India as part of its plan to reduce dependence on China.

In the past two years, Apple has been growing its supplier network in India to add more value locally, as the company moves more of its production outside China.

Apple’s suppliers include three iPhone assembly plants in India, with the biggest one run by Foxconn in Tamil Nadu. The other two are operated by Tata Group, in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Also, Amperex Technology Ltd (ATL), a key Apple supplier, is setting up a plant in Manesar, Haryana, to produce battery cells at a 180-acre site.

Bharat Forge, a well-known Indian manufacturing company, has around 5,000 employees. It works in sectors like automotive, energy, aerospace and defense. The company is led by 76-year-old Baba Kalyani and has many subsidiaries and a strong global presence.
