On Sunday, V Lee, a representative of Foxconn in India, made the announcement as he wished Prime Minister Modi a happy 73rd birthday.

Foxconn has requested assistance from IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in order to grow its staff. Vaishnaw declared in an X-post that she was “fully committed to support and facilitate.”
The biggest electronics contract manufacturer in the world right now is Foxconn. Since the company has significantly increased the size of its manufacturing facilities in India’s southern states, India is one of the company’s upcoming markets. The corporation wants to become less dependent on China as the global geopolitical climate continues to deteriorate.
V Lee said on LinkedIn, “Happy Birthday, Respected PM. Under your direction, Foxconn’s expansion in India has been seamless and quick. Next year, we’ll work even harder to give you a bigger birthday gift, aiming to double employment, FDI, and business size in India.
Foxconn has plans to hire 53,000 more people over the next two years, increasing its employment in India to almost 70,000, according to a report from Reuters published late last year.
Foxconn will invest $600 million in two projects in the state, Karnataka said in August. These initiatives will concentrate on producing iPhone case components and machinery for chip manufacture.
Foxconn Chairman Liu Young-way stated his excitement about India’s potential during an earnings briefing last month. He claimed that the multibillion dollar investment is only the beginning.
