Tata Electronics has successfully expanded its workforce to 75,000, overtaking Taiwanese rival Foxconn and becoming Apple's largest contract manufacturer in India. This rapid growth, which saw the workforce increase from around 15,000 in 2023, is largely attributed to its 500-acre facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The company's aggressive hiring strategy aims to meet the surging demand for Apple iPhones and has set a precedent for other domestic firms. Experts note that this milestone is remarkable considering the plant was established only in 2020. The speed of Tata's expansion illustrates its capability to compete with established global manufacturers in the electronics sector. As Tata Electronics continues to scale, it plans to focus on deeper upstream value chain localisation and enhance quality and yield in its operations. This development also highlights India's growing role as a mature electronics manufacturing hub, supported by skilled labor and favorable policies, particularly the production-linked incentive scheme that has bolstered Apple's manufacturing presence in the country.
