CTOnews.com, Nov. 4 (Xinhua)-- Pegatron, a contract manufacturer in Taiwan, has also begun assembling iPhone 14 models for Apple in India, Bloomberg reported.

To diversify its supply chain and avoid over-reliance on a single market, Apple plans to transfer 1/4 of its iPhone production to India by 2025. JPMorgan analysts have previously said they believe Apple will transfer about 5 per cent of iPhone 14 production to India by the end of 2022.

CTOnews.com learned that Apple actually started producing iPhone SE in India as early as 2017. In April, Apple announced that it had started producing iPhone 13 smartphones in India. Previously, some of the iPhone was assembled by Foxconn's local plant, while the other part was assembled by Wituang's factory.

On Sept. 24, Apple said it had begun assembling the iPhone 14 in India, the first time it has produced its current lineup in the world's second-largest smartphone market, and analysts predict a bigger shift in the US giant's manufacturing industry in the future.

According to reports, the company's global partner Foxconn is assembling mobile phones at the Sriperumbudur factory near Chennai. In addition, the Heshuo plant in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, which employed more than 7000 people by the end of September, began producing iPhone 12 phones earlier this year.

In addition, Bloomberg has revealed that Tata Group, a leading Indian company, is in talks with Weitong, a Taiwanese supplier, to set up a joint venture to assemble Apple's iPhone phones in India.
