Apple supplier Jabil is set to establish a new electronics manufacturing facility in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, with a significant investment of Rs. 2000 crore ($238 million). Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin announced the development on Tuesday, highlighting it as one of three major investments secured by the state government.
The new plant will generate approximately 5000 jobs and create a new electronics manufacturing cluster in the region. The announcement was made following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Jabil and the Tamil Nadu state delegation, with CM Stalin in attendance. Stalin has been on a 17-day trip to the United States to attract new investments.
Jabil’s entry into Tamil Nadu adds to the state’s growing roster of major Apple suppliers, which includes Foxconn, Pegatron, Tata Electronics, and Corning. The company’s new facility in Trichy represents one of the largest investments in the region and is expected to foster the development of an electronics cluster similar to those in Sriperumbudur and Hosur.
Jabil, a key supplier to major companies like Cisco and HP, is expanding its footprint in India as part of Apple’s strategy to diversify its supply chain away from China. This investment aligns with Apple’s broader initiative to increase its presence in India.
In addition to Jabil’s announcement, CM Stalin revealed two other significant investments: Rockwell Automation will expand its manufacturing operations in Kanchipuram with a Rs. 666 crore investment, creating 365 new jobs, and Autodesk will collaborate with the state to enhance skills and support MSMEs and startups through a new MoU. These developments aim to strengthen Tamil Nadu’s industrial ecosystem and bolster its position as a hub for technology and manufacturing.
