Apple is reportedly planning to start manufacturing its wireless earbuds AirPods at Foxconn’s factory in the south Indian city of Hyderabad.
Foxconn has approved an investment of $400 million for the Hyderabad plant which is expected to begin mass production by December 2024.
“Foxconn Hyderabad factory will make AirPods. The factory is expected to begin mass production by December,” PTI reported, citing an unnamed source.
PTI, however, said an email query sent to Apple and Foxconn did not elicit any reply.
AirPods will be the second Apple product category after the iPhone that will be made in India.
American multinational technology company’s AirPods lead the TWS (true wireless stereo) market globally.
It led the global TWS market with about 36 percent market share in the December 2022 quarter, according to research firm Canalys.
