In recent years, with Apple moving to diversify its supply chain dependence away from China to alternate appealing Southeast Asia regions, India is becoming more attractive, despite challenges for OEM brand manufacturers not familiar with the sub-continent. Below are several articles and resources for manufacturers considering alternatives to China.

While faced with many supply chain challenges, the sub-continent’s ‘Make in India’ program has spawned many manufacturing clusters. (See: India cluster map – log in required) Indian contract electronics providers also typically have a high concentration of customers making up the vast majority of revenue. It’s not uncommon for the majority revenue to come from three customers for Indian contract electronics providers in the middle-market segment, USD10 million to $500 million.

Each Indian state or territory has its own policies (click to see India map, states with manufacturing clusters) on everything ranging from CapEx support and subsidies, to financing of land, reimbursement of stamp duty, exemptions for electricity, and on, and on. We hope the information on this page helps electronics OEM decision makers become more informed when consider India as a source for contract electronics design and manufacturing outsourcing.
