Foxconn pulls plug on Chinese workers to India, equipment from China also paused to iPhone plants: Report

Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn has paused new work rotations for its Chinese employees at its Apple iPhone factories in India, deploying Taiwanese workers instead, as per a report by Rest of World. The report also stated that Chinese workers currently stationed at Indian plants are being recalled, signaling potential new economic tensions between China and India.

Citing sources familiar with Foxconn’s India operations, the report noted that shipments of specialised manufacturing equipment intended for India have also been delayed in China. The disruptions could impact iPhone assembly lines at Foxconn’s factories in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, which collectively employ around 50,000 workers.
