NEW DELHI (Reuters) — Apple Inc has started the assembly of iPhone 12 in India, the U.S. tech giant said, as the company ramps up manufacturing operations in the world’s second-biggest smartphone market.

The Indian unit of Apple’s Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn will assemble the device in its plant in southern Tamil Nadu state, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Apple has been shifting some areas of production from China to other markets as it navigates the trade war between Washington and Beijing. A person familiar with the matter said in November Foxconn is moving some iPad and MacBook assembly to Vietnam from China at its request.

Cupertino, California-headquartered Apple has bet big on India since it begin iPhone assembly in the country in 2017 via another Taiwanese supplier, Wistron. Foxconn, Wistron and a third supplier Pegatron have together committed roughly $900 mln over five years to make iPhones in India, leveraging New Delhi’s $6.7 bln plan to boost smartphone exports. Apple is also planning to bring the assembly of its iPad tablet to India, Reuters reported last month.
