Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics company, has begun production of iPhone 17 at its Bengaluru facility.
The unit, located in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, is the company’s second-largest plant globally outside China and has started operations on a limited scale.
The company is investing about Rs 25,000 crore in establishing this factory.
The Bengaluru unit has started producing iPhone 17 models, supplementing the ongoing output at Foxconn’s Chennai facility.

To fill the gap, Foxconn has deployed specialists from Taiwan and other regions, allowing production to resume smoothly.
