World’s largest contract manufacturer of mobile
phones, Foxconn is reported to be winding up its Chennai unit due to lack of
orders, according to various reports.
Reports said the Taiwanese firm will shut down its
Indian operations on December 24. The fate of around 1,700 employees will now
be uncertain.
Foxconn’s Indian unit was majorly dependent on Nokia
for its businesses. The company started getting affected after Nokia slowly
started cutting down production. Foxconn gave the VRS option to many of its
employees like Nokia.
Foxconn came into India in 2006 following its most
important client at that time, Nokia. The company had two units in
Sriperumbudur HiTech SEZ and one inside Nokia SEZ.
Closing of Foxconn will be the second biggest hit to the Sriperumbudur electronics SEZ which saw Nokia shut its operations on November 1.
