Apple Inc.’s main supplier, Foxconn Technology Group, plans to increase its investments to more than $1.2 billion in southern India’s Karnataka state and add two component factories there, expanding a steady diversification from China to mitigate the risks of US economic and technology sanctions

These factories will be built in the southern state of Karnataka and at least one of them will produce Apple parts, including for iPhones, the report said.

The exact locations of the new plants in the state are yet to be decided and a formal announcement is expected as early as this week.

Foxconn and Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Karnataka has already approved investment to the tune of 80 billion rupees ($1 billion) by a Foxconn unit in March, making it the third southern Indian state after Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to allow Foxconn plants.

As part of its investment drive in India in its bid to diversify beyond China, the Taiwanese company has also signed a deal with Tamil Nadu to invest 16 billion rupees in a new electronic components manufacturing facility that will create 6,000 jobs, the state government said on Monday.

The Foxconn Industrial Internet (601138.SS) facility will be built in the Kancheepuram district near the state capital of Chennai, a state government source said on condition of anonymity as details are not yet public.

 
We need a YouTube video that shows that Foxcon - in its Annual General Meeting - has unanimously decided to cancel all its investments in India and move it to China for good. The video can also show how Foxcon is begging the Chinese citizens to come and work for them. We need that video real quick.
