政府可能会让苹果选择的中国供应商在印度建厂
该公司最近推出了iPhone 14，这是其最畅销产品的最新版本。该公司一直在逐步扩大在印度的生产，以降低对中国的依赖。
他们表示，政府对中国实体的投资开放，这些实体可以提供无可替代的技术和生产能力。
一位官员表示:“如果供应商提供的技术没有其他选择，那么政府允许使用这种技术是没有问题的，除非对该实体存在一些担忧。”
这位官员表示，政府还将建议向当地制造业转让技术，这是政府在中国投资时遵循的模式。
“我们已经要求他们(苹果)提供一份供应商名单，”这位官员说，并补充说，在政府点头之前，这些名单将经过审查。
苹果没有回应记者的询问。
政府一直在敦促这家全球最有价值的公司将其整个制造生态系统带到印度，包括iphone、ipad和电脑。

据ET本月早些时候报道，分析师和行业高管估计，12月这一季度苹果向印度的iphone出货量将达到有史以来的最高水平，约为57万部，而去年为37万部。
然而，苹果继续进口许多组件。
到2025年，苹果可能会把四分之一的iPhone生产转移到印度
该经纪公司预计，苹果公司将从2022年底起将约5%的iPhone 14产量转移到印度。印度是仅次于中国的全球第二大智能手机市场。
印度于2020年4月修订了外国直接投资(FDI)政策，并要求政府事先批准与印度接壤的国家的外国投资，这一措施被视为主要针对中国投资。印度工业和国内贸易部(DPIIT)在做出这一改变的同时，在其新闻通稿中表示，这是为了“遏制由于当前Covid-19大流行而对印度公司的机会主义收购/收购”。
一个部际委员会成立的目的是研究涉及中国直接投资的提案，迄今为止，该委员会已经批准了对Citizen Watches Co.、Nippon Paint Holdings和Netplay Sports Pvt Ltd.的投资。这个三管齐下的框架可能有助于加快对一些被搁置的提案作出决定。

They said that the government is open to investments by Chinese entities that offer technology and production capabilities for which there is no alternative available.
\u201cIf there is no alternative to the technology a vendor has to offer, the government has no issues in allowing it unless there are some concerns about the entity,\u201d said one of the officials.
<\/div><\/div>If there are some concerns about the vendor and there is no alternative available, the Indian manufacturer will need to import the components.
The government would also suggest a transfer of technology for local manufacturing, a model it had followed in the case of investments from China, the official said.
\u201cWe have asked them (Apple) to furnish a list of vendors,\u201d the official said, adding that these would be vetted before the government gives its nod.
Apple didn\u2019t respond to queries.
The government has been urging the world\u2019s most valuable company to bring its entire manufacturing ecosystem to India spanning iPhones, iPads and computers.
The company that recently launched the iPhone 14<\/a>, the latest iteration of its largest selling product, has been progressively scaling up India production to lower reliance on China.
Analysts and industry executives estimate the December quarter will mark Apple\u2019s highest ever shipment of iPhones to India at around 570,000 units compared with 370,000 units last year, ET reported earlier this month.
However, Apple continues to import many components.
