Apple's desire to open a manufacturing hub in India started after Prime Minister Narendra Modi began promoting (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/20/apple-talks-india-manufacture-locally/) his "Made in India" initiative. Apple manufacturing partner Wistron will make the iPhones in a new plant, reportedly (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/23/apple-wistron-india-supplier-iphone/) beginning with the iPhone 8 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/).
Over the past couple of months, Apple and Indian officials began narrowing down (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/09/apple-executives-visit-india-manufacturing-iphones/) possibilities to manufacture products locally. Last month, Apple finally chose a Karnataka-based facility over competing bids from other Indian states Gujarat, Maharashtra and Telangana. During negotiations, Apple was said to be seeking (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/25/apple-constructive-meeting-india-manufacturing/) a number of tax and other incentives, including the possibility of long-term duty exemptions.
The government said it's in discussions with Apple for other potential collaborations, but declined to say what they could be. The move is a major step for Apple as it looks to solidify its footing in the subcontinent so it can access India's customer base.
