Apple is said to be lobbying the Indian government in a move that could see the company manufacture iPads in the country for the first time. The government is planning to launch an incentive scheme designed to boost India’s computer exports.

The initiative will have a budget of up to $ 964 million over five years. India’s supply chain does n’t yet have the scale to meet Apple’s demands.

Apple already makes iPhones in India, having started in 2018. The company has also been seeking to diversify its manufacturing out of China.
