India, June 20 -- Taiwanese electronics manufacturing major Foxconn is reportedly planning to make iPhone enclosures in India and is eyeing at establishing a new unit in Tamil Nadu.

An ET report, citing sources close to the matter, said that the company is looking at building the new facility within the ESR Industrial Park at Oragadam in Tamil Nadu.

"Foxconn plans to start making enclosures in Tamil Nadu as they deepen their footprint in the country. Construction has begun for their enclosures unit at the industrial park. This will be a separate unit close to their upcoming display module assembly plant which is in advanced stages in the same industrial park," a source told the publication.
