Tata is building high-tech equipment to make iPhone casings?

Apple is attempting to diversify its manufacturing base in order to lessen its reliance on China, according to previous reports.

Tata Electronics has partnered with two Indian manufacturers in Pune and Bengaluru to build capabilities for developing very sophisticated and intricate high-precision equipment required to make iPhone casings, according to the Economic Times.

The equipment can be found on the production lines of independent contractors who work with big firms such as Apple. The step is expected to significantly increase the government's aim of $300 billion in electronics exports by 2025.

Given the geopolitical situation, this comes at a time when Apple is attempting to diversify its manufacturing base in order to lessen its reliance on China.

According to the article, the Tata Group is testing these devices in stages at their Hosur site. Part of the goal is to expand its local expertise, as the company wants to create the country's ecosystem rather than just build enclosures. These machines are just one of the many inputs that go into creating a component or enclosure, and the company is looking at reducing its reliance on certain parts.

Ajai Chowdhry, co-founder of HCL, told the Economic Times, "Everyone needs casings; if Tata Group can undertake import substitution and manufacture these machines in India, it will generate an industry since so many people want casings. Anyone who wants to produce a phone or tablet in India will need casings, and if they can meet Apple's strict criteria, the gadget will be of great quality."

The program not only increases domestic output but also builds the framework for future exports. Furthermore, it can help India meet its ambitious goal of exporting $300 billion in electronics by 2025.
