Foxconn Is In Talks With State Governments Including Maharashtra, UP, Haryana Foxconn Technology Group is looking to  invest up to $5 Bn in India , to explore the possibility of establishing a manufacturing hub parallel to China. The Indian hub will be instrumental for export to markets across Europe and the US. A top official at the Taiwanese company told TOI that Foxconn will soon ramp up Indian operations in an “exponential manner.”  This move is powered by the implementation of GST, and the imposition of an import duty on mobiles phones . The levy of the duty and the tax combined will discourage sourcing goods  from China and other foreign locations.

The idea that  Apple   AAPL -0.05%   might or should produce iPhones locally inside the Indian economy has been long discussed. From our point of view here, thinking about economics, it would actually be a fascinating test of the abilities, the sophistication, of that Indian economy. For the question would be whether there would be the creation of a supply chain capable of meeting the volumes and standards that Apple requires. The answer isn’t clear cut which is why the idea, if it goes ahead, will be such a fascinating thing to observe. The results from Brazil show that it’s not an easy thing to create, such a supply chain. There’s also a certain mordant humour to the idea. Over here in Europe everyone is shouting at Apple for the manner in which they dodge local taxation.
