Tamil Nadu is appealing with the Centre to speed up its approval of the investment application by leading Apple contract manufacturer Luxshare, a Chinese electronics company, which has been in the works since May 2020
After Taiwan’s Foxconn and Pegatron, the Dongguan-based manufacturer of Apple Watches, AirPods, and other “hearables” will be the third to establish production facilities in Chennai for the American technology giant.
The Tamil Nadu government approved a proposal from Luxshare in January 2021 to take over the defunct Motorola phone manufacturing facility and invest roughly Rs 750 crore to produce electronic goods.
