A new report from India claims that Apple is reconsidering plans to manufacture iPads in India, driven by the government’s initiative to attract more supply chains to the country. The tech giant is also said to be eyeing Pune for producing AirPods MagSafe Charging cases.

Apple will likely resume its search for a manufacturing partner in India after its previous attempt to collaborate with China’s BYD for iPad production in the country was stopped short by government restrictions, Moneycontrol said citing sources.

Apple is reportedly reconsidering plans to manufacture iPads in India, driven by the government’s initiative to attract more supply chains to the country. The tech giant is also said to be eyeing Pune for producing AirPods cases.

In addition to ramping up its iPhone manufacturing capabilities, Apple is also making efforts to increase the production of components for AirPods wireless charging cases through Jabil in India. The company reportedly plans to start production of true wireless stereo (TWS) AirPods, in India from early next year.

Apple has initiated trial production of components for wireless charging cases in Pune with Jabil and is considering a similar arrangement with Taiwan’s Foxconn.

Following quality testing and approval, Jabil plans to scale up commercial production of these parts for AirPods’ wireless charging cases. For more on this, read the full report by Benzinga India.
