Devanahalli, located near Bengaluru airport, has emerged as a key investment hub in Karnataka. Notably, last year, Foxconn, the manufacturer of Apple iPhones, announced an additional investment of $1.67 billion (approximately ₹14,000 crore) in the state. This investment is aimed at setting up a manufacturing facility in Devanahalli, where Foxconn has already acquired 300 acres of land.
The Karnataka government had previously disclosed Foxconn’s plans to invest $600 million in two component factories in the state, further solidifying Karnataka’s position as a favorable destination for major investments in the technology and manufacturing sectors.
