Karnataka Foxconn plant to create over 40,000 jobs

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that Foxconn, part of the Taiwanese Hon Hai Technology Group, investing ₹25,000 crore to establish a manufacturing plant near Doddaballapur, would provide all necessary infrastructure and support by the State government.

“The Karnataka government will extend full support to Foxconn. We will provide everything from water, electricity, and roads to legal assistance,” the Chief Minister said.

The assurance was given during a dinner meeting with a high-level delegation led by Foxconn CEO and chairman Young Liu, who met the Chief Minister.

Responding to the Chief Minister’s offer, Mr. Young Liu said: “The unit in Karnataka will soon become the second-largest Foxconn plant after China’s unit.

“It will create 40,000 direct jobs, especially for middle-level educated individuals.”

He added, “If mutual trust exists, anything can be achieved… and our investment will not stop here. In the future, we plan to explore other sectors also.”

Industries Minister M.B. Patil said: “State agencies such as KIADB, KPTCL, the Fire Brigade, and pollution control board are working with dedication to ensure the smooth implementation of Foxconn’s project.”
