Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giant, has announced a significant investment of ₹15,000 crore in Tamil Nadu, aiming to establish a robust manufacturing and research ecosystem in the state.
This initiative is set to create 14,000 high-value engineering jobs, marking a substantial contribution to Tamil Nadu’s industrial landscape.
The announcement was made following a meeting between Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Foxconn’s India representative, Robert Wu, in Chennai on October 13, 2025.
The discussions underscored the deepening partnership between the state and Foxconn, reaffirming Tamil Nadu’s position as a preferred destination for high-tech manufacturing investments.
As part of this expansion, Foxconn will focus on value-added manufacturing, research and development (R&D) integration, and the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-led advanced technology operations. The investment will be distributed across multiple locations in Tamil Nadu, enhancing the state’s capabilities in electronics and advanced manufacturing sectors.
In a bid to streamline operations and facilitate faster project execution, the state government, through its investment promotion agency, Guidance Tamil Nadu, will establish a dedicated “Foxconn Desk.”
This initiative aims to provide seamless coordination and mission-mode engagement for Foxconn’s projects, ensuring efficient regulatory approvals and support.
Chief Minister Stalin expressed the government’s commitment to supporting Foxconn’s expansion, highlighting the state’s proactive industrial policies, world-class talent pool, and infrastructure readiness.
He assured full support through the state’s single-window investment facilitation mechanism and talent development partnerships.
Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa emphasized that this investment is the largest-ever commitment for Tamil Nadu in terms of engineering job creation, aligning with the state’s “Jobs for TN” initiative.
He termed it a major boost for Tamil Nadu’s electronics and advanced manufacturing sector, signaling the state’s growing appeal as a hub for electronics manufacturing and foreign investment in India.
Robert Wu, Foxconn’s India representative, conveyed the company’s confidence in Tamil Nadu’s governance model and industrial policies.
He noted that the state’s infrastructure readiness and ease of doing business make it a preferred destination for Foxconn’s next phase of growth in India, including strategic verticals such as battery technologies and AI-led manufacturing systems.
This development underscores Tamil Nadu’s transformation from a manufacturing destination to a strategic innovation and engineering hub for the global supply chain.
The state’s commitment to fostering a conducive environment for high-tech industries is expected to attract further investments, positioning Tamil Nadu as a key player in the global electronics manufacturing landscape.
