iPhone maker Apple has plans to scale up production in India by over
five-fold to around $40 billion, or about Rs 3.32 lakh crore, in the
next four to five years, according to government sources.
According to the official, who did not wish to be named, the company
has crossed the $7 billion production mark in the last financial
year.
"Apple has plans to increase production in India to over $40 billion
in the next four to five years. It has crossed $7 billion in the last
fiscal," the official said.
An email query sent to Apple did not elicit any reply.
Apple manufactures iPhones in India and has plans to start
manufacturing Airpods from next year.
The officer said that Apple has no immediate plans to make iPads or
its laptops in India.
"They don't have any plans to participate in IT hardware PLI. They
may come at a later stage but as of now their focus is to scale up
existing production levels," the officer said.
The company globally sold iPhones worth $191 billion and products
worth $38.36 billion in the wearable, home and accessories segment in
the financial year ended on Sept. 25, 2022.
In the first nine months of the current fiscal, the company recorded
about a 4% dip in iPhone sales at $156.77 billion and a slight
decline in the wearable, home and accessories segment at $30.52
billion.
The company has become the largest exporter of mobile phones from
India.
According to industry sources, sales of Apple's iPhone 15 series
registered a 100% growth compared to that of the iPhone 14 series on
the launch day on Friday.
Apple has launched four models in the iPhone 15 series. Two
variants--the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus--are also being made in
India.
The company has for the first time made available the 'made-in-India'
iPhones on the same day it started selling the devices in other parts
of the globe.
According to market research firm Counterpoint Research, Apple led
the ultra-premium segment, with phones priced above Rs 45,000 apiece,
with 59% market share in the first quarter of 2023 and India is among
the top-five markets for the company now.
