Tata Electronics, which is expanding its iPhone assembly hub at Koothanapalli in Tamil Nadu’s Hosur, is set to increase its employee strength by 175 per cent to 55,000 from 20,000 now, two sources said.

The company did not respond to questions from Business Standard in this regard.

The hiring push comes amid reports that the Tata group company is in talks with Pegatron to acquire its unit near Chennai. Tata Electronics acquired Wistron’s domestic operations in November last year for $125 million, becoming the first Indian company to manufacture iPhones. Both Wistron and Pegatron are Taiwan-based contract manufacturers for Apple.
