With India-made iPhones, Tamil Nadu isn’t just competing with China, but rest of India

#ThePrintOnGround
Sriperumbudur has become India’s electronics capital, and an important link in the global supply chain. From Foxconn to Ford and Samsung to Saint-Gobain, the town’s industrial parks are where the world’s topmost companies have chosen to set up a base.

Over the past three decades, Tamil Nadu has emerged as the new electronics manufacturing hub, with several companies setting up factories as part of the China + 1 strategy. Tamil Nadu is the most industrialised state in India with the second-largest economy in the country. It already has the social infrastructure required for a manufacturing hub to take off, offering global companies a diverse and inclusive blueprint to build on. And it has the talent to match: of India’s 1.6 million female factory workers, 43% are in Tamil Nadu. It’s a huge number that the state is proud of — and Sriperumbudur’s electronics industry is where many of them work.
