Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn has been actively expanding its business in India. The company, which is the world’s largest electronics manufacturer and a leading global science and technology solutions provider, announced last year that it aims to double its workforce and investment in India. The Karnataka government and Foxconn signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) last year for two projects with an estimated investment of Rs 5,000 crore.

In 2023, Foxconn’s annual revenue reached USD 198 billion.
The company has established R&D and manufacturing centers in various parts of the world, including China, India, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, and the US.
