Foxconn has been a crucial partner for Apple in its manufacturing operations, and their relationship is increasingly focused on India.
The Taiwanese giant has made significant investments in India to expand its manufacturing facilities, specifically targeting Apple products.
In 2023, PM Narendra Modi met with Liu in Gandhinagar and expressed enthusiasm for the company’s plans to expand semiconductor and chip manufacturing operations in India. Liu, a participant in the three-day SemiconIndia 2023 conference, reaffirmed Taiwan’s position as India’s most trusted and reliable partner.
