Tata Group's Hosur Iphone Plant To Create Up To 28,000 Jobs

The Tata Group intends to expand its iPhone-casing manufacturing facility in Hosur, India. The potential expansion could double the current plant's size, occupying 500 acres and employing over 15,000 people. This move is expected to increase employment, potentially by 25,000 to 28,000 workers. The Hosur facility's initial investment was Rs 5,000 crore.

According to the report, the new plant will primarily focus on producing components for Apple phones. However, its capabilities extend to the production of high-end phones for other companies, providing flexibility and diversification opportunities.

Following its recent acquisition of Wistron's iPhone assembly plant in Karnataka's Kolar district, Tata Group has decided to expand manufacturing and increase its workforce. Tata is now India's leading domestic iPhone manufacturer, thanks to this historic acquisition.
