Apple is set to start manufacturing AirPods in India with a focus on global exports. Production will begin with casing at Jabil’s Pune factory and assembly at Foxconn’s new unit in Telangana. This expansion follows Apple's successful iPhone production,

Apple’s decision to manufacture AirPods in India highlights a strategic shift to diversify its supply chain while reinforcing India's role in the global tech industry. This move signals a promising future for both Apple and India as they work together to reshape the landscape of technology production.

Apple's expansion into Airpods manufacturing in India is set to happen without the usual incentives from the government. Unlike smartphones, wireless headphones such as AirPods do not benefit from India's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. However, Apple’s focus on India remains strong, driven by the success of its iPhone production.
