Apple part of the PLI scheme of the Government of India
All three contract manufacturers of Apple (Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron) are part of the Government of India’s Rs 41,000 crore Production-Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI). Only after this scheme has iPhone manufacturing in India gained momentum. In 2020, the Government of India launched the PLI Scheme.
