Foxconn invests $37.2 million in India manufacturing subsidiary
New Delhi, June 26
Foxconn Singapore -- a subsidiary of Taiwan's Hon Hai Technology Group -- has approved an investment of $37.2 million in its India-based subsidiary, Foxconn Hon Hai Technology India Mega Development Private Limited, as part of its long-term investment strategy, according to the company's regulatory filing.
The company's board of directors approved the investment through the subscription of approximately 351.73 million common shares of the Indian subsidiary at a face value of Rs 10 per share, it said.
The total transaction value amounts to about $37.2 million.
The filing said the investment is being made through a capital increase in the wholly owned subsidiary and is intended as a long-term investment.
However, the source of funds for the transaction is private capital.
Following the share subscription, Foxconn Singapore will continue to hold virtually the entire equity in Foxconn Hon Hai Technology India Mega Development Private Limited, amounting to more than 23.18 billion shares with a cumulative investment of about $2.82 billion.
The remaining 10 shares are held by Yuzhan Technology (India) Private Limited, another group entity.
The company said the transaction does not involve any change in its business model.
It also said no broker was involved in the transaction and there were no dissenting opinions from the directors.
Moreover, the investment represents 3.55 per cent of the group's total assets and 7.72 per cent of equity attributable to shareholders, based on its latest financial statements.
Foxconn is one of the world's largest electronics manufacturing services companies and has been expanding its manufacturing footprint in India through investments across multiple facilities.
In April, the shipments of 'Made in India' smartphones grew 8 per cent (on-year) in 2025, driven by a 28 per cent surge in exports and a 1 per cent growth in domestic sell-in. Foxconn Hon Hai emerged as the key beneficiary with a 48 per cent YoY growth in its exports, driven by strong Apple shipments.

While it's impressive that Foxconn is investing, I hope these aren't just assembly lines. We need technology transfer and R&D centers too, not just low-end manufacturing. Still, $37 million is a good vote of confidence.
48% growth in exports is phenomenal! Apple must be loving this. Make in India is finally getting serious traction. Now if only our state governments could improve power supply and logistics, we'd see even more such investments.
Interesting move. Foxconn's global strategy is clearly shifting away from China. India has the demographic dividend and improving ease of doing business. But let's see if they can sustain this momentum amid geopolitical tensions.
Finally some concrete numbers! $2.82 billion cumulative investment is no joke. But I'm curious about the working conditions in these factories. Hope Foxconn maintains good labor standards. Profit shouldn't come at the cost of workers' rights. 🤔
Smart move by Foxconn. India's smartphone market is massive and growing, plus export potential to Africa and Middle East. This 'China plus one' strategy is benefiting us big time. More such investments please! 🙏
Good news but let's not get carried away. Foxconn has a history of promising
