Apple's plans for manufacturing in India gain momentum
Apple’s plans to manufacture in India made headway on Wednesday as executives of the company presented detailed plans to the country's federal government.
It may be some time though, before Apple gets permission for its proposal to manufacture in India as it reportedly involves a request for deep cuts in the import duties for components. The meeting on Wednesday is said to have ended inconclusively, according to sources close to the situation.
The Apple executives present at the meeting included Priya Balasubramaniam, a company vice president.
"We've been working hard to develop our operations in India and are proud to deliver the best products and services in the world to our customers here,” Apple said in a statement after the meeting. “We appreciate the constructive and open dialogue we’ve had with government about further expanding our local operations.”
