Apple's iPhone assembly partner Foxconn has asked the Indian government for larger payments from a manufacturing fund, because other companies failed to meet standards.

Apple Inc. supplier Foxconn Technology Group and Dixon Technologies India Ltd. are asking India to pay them billions of rupees in subsidies they think they are entitled to under the government’s production incentives program.

Foxconn and Dixon Technologies are seeking substantial subsidies under India's incentive scheme, highlighting potential hurdles in India's efforts to attract investments and build itself as a global electronics manufacturing hub.
