Foxconn, Dixon ask govt to pay pending production-linked subsidies

Apple Inc. supplier Foxconn Technology Group and Dixon Technologies India Ltd. are asking India to pay them billions of rupees in subsidies they think they are entitled to under the government’s production incentives program.

The government pledged a total of Rs 41,000 crore ($4.8 billion) in subsidies to manufacturers, and part of that remains unallocated because some companies didn’t meet estimated production targets. Foxconn and Dixon argue that, according to the program rules, they are eligible for some of the unallocated funds, people familiar with the matter said.
