At its electronics factory in southern India, the Tata group is apparently hiring more women. Numerous thousands of women already operate in the components industry at the Hosur, Tamil Nadu facility. This comprises accessories for the iPhone, like cases. The plant is expected to set up additional manufacturing lines with over 45,000 new employees within the next 18 to 24 months.
At the factory that makes iPhone parts, Tata will increase the number of women employees. The Tata group has a facility in Tamil Nadu that manufactures iPhone parts. There are currently 10,000 employees there, the majority of whom are female.
The Indian behemoth is reportedly hiring up to 45,000 new employees, all of whom are women. According to reports , this will reportedly help Tata get more business from Apple.
One of the businesses gaining from Apple's new aspirations to expand outside of China is the conglomerate, which produces everything from salt to software. Apple no longer considers China, which is still impacted by the COVID-19 situation, as a viable alternative for its product manufacture. Also According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro versions would feature solid-state volume and home screen buttons.
The Californian behemoth is currently attempting to increase its manufacturing and production outside of China, with India being one of the main markets it intends to enter. In Tamil Nadu, a facility produces iPhone parts like casings.
Tata hired over 5,000 women from various backgrounds, including indigenous tribal populations, for the 500-acre factory. Indian businesses like Tata seem to be reducing the gender gap in the workforce by hiring more women.
According to reports, the women factory workers in Tamil Nadu get a gross income of approximately Rs 16,000, which is 40% more than the national average for workers who assemble things with their hands or tools in India. Free food and lodging are provided for the industrial workers, and plans include for providing education and training as well.
