Investing.com -- Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to increase iPhone production in India by around 10% in 2025, The Information reported citing a person involved in the company’s supply chain.

The company currently assembles between 30 million and 40 million iPhones annually in India.

The report of planned increase comes amid Apple’s ongoing efforts to reduce its reliance on China for manufacturing.

China still accounts for about 80% of iPhone production globally.

Apple has faced recent hurdles in its shift to India. According to the report, Chinese authorities earlier this year blocked the export of key manufacturing equipment to India, prompting one of Apple’s Chinese suppliers to reroute the machinery via a front company in Southeast Asia.

Despite such challenges, Apple continues to expand operations in India, working with partners like Foxconn (SS:601138) and Tata Group.

The company’s long-term goal is reportedly to move about half of its iPhone production out of China.

The report said China has been slowing or denying export approvals for iPhone manufacturing equipment, while Indian labor laws and skill gaps have also limited how much of Apple’s manufacturing process can be localized.
