According to reports, Tata has been in contact with Taiwanese supplier Wistron about forming a combined electronics manufacturing company in India with the goal of producing iPhones there. Tata reportedly wants to utilise Wistron's experience in product development, supply chain management, and assembly. According to reports, if the contract is approved, Tata will be the first Indian business to produce iPhones. Industry behemoths like Wistron and Foxconn currently assemble these phones in China and India. The iPhone manufacturing capacity of Wistron in India is anticipated to increase by five times as a result of this contract.
Tata might wind up owning some interest in Wistron's Indian operations, according to a Bloomberg article. The businesses might collaborate to create a new manufacturing facility. They might end up implementing both measures at once, according to rumours.
It's possible that Tata may purchase a portion of Wistron's manufacturing operations, which go beyond smartphones. Tata is already a part of the supply chain for smartphones because it produces iPhone chassis parts in southern India.
With the newly released iPhone 14 series, Apple apparently wants to increase manufacture there.
Tata's alleged agreement with Wistron may potentially persuade other major electronics manufacturers to consider India for device assembly and lessen their dependency on China.
