Foxconn, an Apple Inc. supplier, will begin producing iPhones at the company's Devanahalli facility in Bengaluru in April of next year.

The Rs 13,600 crore project is expected to create 50,000 jobs. Foxconn plans to complete the project in three phases, with a goal of producing two million iPhones per year from the new plant once all three phases are completed.

"Foxconn will be given 300 acres of land identified at ITIR (information technology investment region) in Devanahalli by July 1 of this year."" Furthermore, the government will ensure a supply of 5 MLD (million litres per day) of water, quality power, road connectivity, and other infrastructure facilities," Karnataka Industries Minister MB Patil stated.

Patil made the announcement after Foxconn representatives led by George Chu paid him a visit here. Karnataka's information technology and biotechnology minister, Priyank Kharge, was also present.
