Andhra Pradesh to Become Key iPhone Manufacturing Hub
Imagine a new factory is being built in India to make parts for iPhones.
A company called Hindalco is investing a lot of money to build this factory in a place called Kuppam.
This factory will make metal frames for iPhones.
This is part of a plan to make more iPhone parts in India instead of just in one place.
This is expected to bring many new jobs to the area.
The government is helping by offering support to encourage this factory to be built there.
This new factory will help Kuppam become known around the world and boost the local economy.
Hindalco Industries plans to invest Rs 586 crore in an aluminium extrusion unit in Kuppam.
The unit will supply aluminium chassis for Apple's iPhones.
The project is expected to create over 600 jobs.
Production is targeted to start by March 2027.
The project is part of the 'Make in India' campaign.
