Apple has steadily expanded its presence in India after moving much of its US-bound iPhone production out of China. The move is aimed at reducing the impact of tariffs and trade disruptions, the report added.

After years of relying on China for iPhone production, Apple is boosting its presence in India. The tech giant hit a milestone ahead of the iPhone 17 launch.

Apple saw its iPhone exports from India rise almost 63 per cent to $7.5 billion in the April-July period this year, from $4.6 billion in the same period last fiscal (FY25), according to latest industry data.

Additionally, Apple is set to open its largest office in India at Embassy Zenith, Sankey Road, Vasanth Nagar, with seating capacity for over 1,200 employees. The 10-year lease, valued at around ₹1,010 crore, ranks among Bengaluru’s biggest single-tenant commercial lease agreements in recent years, according to Business Standard.
