NEW DELHI, April 11 (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) has started making
the iPhone 13 in India, the company said on Monday, as the U.S tech
giant tries to reduce reliance on its Chinese supply chain.

The phone is being produced at a local plant of Apple's Taiwanese
contract manufacturer Foxconn (2354.TW), situated in the town of
Sriperumbudur in Southern Tamil Nadu state, according to a source.

Apple has been shifting some areas of iPhone production from China to
other markets including India, the world's second biggest smartphone
market, and is also planning to assemble iPad tablets there.

India and countries such as Mexico and Vietnam are becoming
increasingly important to contract manufacturers supplying American
brands as they try to diversify production away from China.

The iPhone 13 is the fourth model to be produced locally after Apple
launched manufacturing operations in India in 2017 with the iPhone
SE.
