In a major blow to Apple Inc.’s manufacturing push in the South Asian country, Foxconn Technology Group has asked Chinese employees working at its iPhone factories in India to return home, foreign media reported.

Over 300 skilled Chinese workers at Foxconn have been asked to leave, raising concerns among experts about the implications for Apple's production plans in India. This move coincides with heightened tensions between China and Western firms,

The move was reportedly taken due to Chinese restrictions on labour and tech exports, which could disrupt Apple's scaling efforts in India and affect the broader 'Make in India' initiative aimed at transforming India into a global electronics manufacturing hub.
