Apple's Indian Spice: How Desi Tech is Flavoring Global iPhones

In a historic paradigm shift, India has started shipping electronic components of Apple products to China and Vietnam. This feat, completed by March 2025, represents India's journey from being a net importer to becoming an important cog in the global technology supply chain. Industry leaders such as Motherson Group, Jabil, Aequs, and Tata Electronics are now producing vital components for MacBooks, AirPods, Apple Watches, and iPhones. The initiative is part of Apple's plan to localize its supply base and promote local production in India. Industry analysts are estimating that India is on course to meet its ambitious goal of achieving $35-40 billion in component exports by 2030, positioning it as an international electronics manufacturing hub.
