Apple has alternatives to tackle return of techies from Foxconn
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|July 12, 2025
The government is monitoring production targets at Foxconn and believes that Apple has alternatives to handle issues related to the return of Chinese professionals from Taiwanese electronics manufacturer's plant in India, sources said on Friday.
Hundreds of Chinese technology professionals who were facilitating and managing production at Foxconn plants in India have returned to China triggering speculation that it may hamper production of the upcoming iPhone 17 series.
“Government is monitoring the situation. Apple has alternatives and they should be able to look at ways to handle this. Issue is primarily between Apple and Foxconn,” a government source said.
Most of the equipment used for manufacturing of mobile phones are sourced from China and Chinese technology professionals have expertise in handling them.
According to sources, the engineers who have returned were handling assembly lines, factory design and also involved in training talents to handle tools and machines for iPhone production.
