Tata Electronics Expands Workforce to 75,000, Surpasses Foxconn in India

Tata Electronics has rapidly expanded its workforce to 75,000, surpassing Taiwanese rival Foxconn to become Apple's largest contract manufacturer by headcount in India. This growth, primarily driven by its 500-acre Hosur facility and acquisitions of Pegatron and Wistron plants, reflects the company's aggressive scaling to meet rising iPhone demand. While Foxconn is expected to regain its lead as its Devanahalli plant ramps up, Tata's swift expansion marks a significant milestone for India's electronics manufacturing sector.
