Between March and May, nearly all of the $3.2 billion worth of iPhones exported by Foxconn from India were shipped to the US, highlighting Apple’s realignment of Indian production to cater primarily to the American market.

President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Indian goods will do little to slow the role of the Asian country as a key hub for manufacturing iPhones, even when it means more expensive smartphones for U.S.

Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge warns that new US tariffs could hinder India's competitiveness, particularly in the electronics sector. He calls for immediate central government intervention to protect India's interests and suggests that the 'Make in India' initiative could suffer under global trade pressures.
