‘Make in India’ Spins the Wheel Amid Rising Chinese Imports

The ‘Make in India’ initiative, launched in 2014, aimed to transform India into a global manufacturing hub by promoting domestic production and reducing reliance on imports.
This initiative got a major fillip with Apple announcing that the manufacturing of AirPods for export at Foxconn’s Hyderabad plant will start in April, according to PTI. This move signifies a major shift in Apple’s supply chain strategy as it diversifies its production locations beyond China.
The decision also underscores Apple’s growing importance in the Indian market, both as a manufacturing hub and a consumer base. This will potentially create new jobs and economic opportunities in the region.
