Apple looks to double down on making AirPods in India with new Tamil Nadu factory: Report

.

Not just iPhones, Apple is seemingly ramping up production of its popular accessories like AirPods in India. 

The move is corroborated by a new report that suggests that one of Cupertino’s marquee suppliers is prepping to open a second facility to bolster the local assembly of a key AirPods component, the plastic enclosure or casing, before they are shipped out to China and Vietnam to make into the finished product.

According to a report in The Economic Times, Apple supplier Jabil – which is an American manufacturing company based out of Florida – is expanding its India footprint with a new factory pegged to commence operations soon in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu.
