Apple looks to revive its ‘Make In India’ plans for iPads and AirPod cases

Apple may be eyeing more Indian manufacturing. Cupertino is reportedly revisiting plans to produce iPads in India, potentially lured by the government’s efforts to attract supply chains. Additionally, Pune is being considered as a location for AirPod case production.

Apple will likely resume its search for a manufacturing partner in India after its previous attempt to collaborate with China’s BYD for iPad production in the country was stopped short by government restrictions, Moneycontrol said citing sources.

In addition to ramping up its iPhone manufacturing capabilities, Apple is also making efforts to increase the production of components for AirPod wireless charging cases through Jabil in India. The company reportedly plans to start production of true wireless stereo (TWS) AirPods, in India from early next year.

Apple has initiated trial production of components for wireless charging cases in Pune with Jabil and is considering a similar arrangement with Taiwan’s Foxconn. Following quality testing and approval, Jabil plans to scale up commercial production of these parts for AirPods’ wireless charging cases.
