Apple likely to resume its plans to manufacture iPads in India

NEW DELHI: American tech giant Apple is likely to resume its plans to manufacture iPads in India. According to a recent report, the iPhone maker is encouraged by the Indian government’s push to attract more supply chains into the country.

The report, citing sources, said that Apple may soon start the process of searching for a manufacturing partner. Earlier an attempt to partner with China’s BYD for iPad production in India was hindered by government restrictions due to geopolitical concerns. BYD was on the verge of setting up an iPad factory in India, but clearance issues arose. The situation has changed significantly since.
