Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics contract manufacturer, has announced a significant investment of ₹15,000 crore in Tamil Nadu. This initiative aims to establish advanced manufacturing facilities focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), value-added production, and research and development (R&D). The project is expected to generate 14,000 high-value engineering jobs across multiple locations within the state.
A delegation from Foxconn met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin in Chennai to formalize the investment. During the meeting, the establishment of the first-ever “Foxconn Desk” in India was announced at Guidance Tamil Nadu, the state’s nodal agency for investment promotion. This dedicated desk aims to facilitate faster coordination and support for Foxconn’s projects, ensuring efficient execution and engagement across various initiatives.
Robert Wu, Foxconn’s India representative and senior global executive, expressed confidence in Tamil Nadu’s governance model, proactive industrial policies, and world-class talent pool. He highlighted the state’s infrastructure readiness and ease of doing business as key factors influencing Foxconn’s decision to expand its operations in the region.
This investment marks a strategic shift for Foxconn towards AI-led manufacturing and deepens its relationship with Tamil Nadu, reaffirming the state’s position as a global hub for high-value manufacturing, exports, and engineering innovation. The Tamil Nadu government has committed to providing full support through its single-window facilitation mechanism, talent development partnerships, and dedicated executive coordination via the new Foxconn Desk.
The establishment of this facility is part of Foxconn’s broader strategy to enhance its manufacturing capabilities in India, including ventures into battery technologies and semiconductor assembly. The company’s expansion aligns with India’s growing focus on strengthening its electronics and technology sectors.
