India's Modi meets Foxconn chief amid govt probe into hiring practices
NEW DELHI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Foxconn Chairman Young Liu to discuss the latter's investment plans on Wednesday, weeks after New Delhi started investigating possible discriminatory hiring practices at a Foxconn plant following a Reuters report.
"We also had excellent discussions on their investment plans in India in states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh," Modi wrote. A Reuters investigation published in June found that Foxconn excluded married women from assembly jobs at its main Indian iPhone plant in Tamil Nadu state. Foxconn acknowledged some lapses in hiring practices in 2022 and said it had worked to address the issues, but said it "vigorously refutes allegations of employment discrimination."
Still, Foxconn withdrew in July last year from a $19.5 billion semiconductor joint venture with Indian conglomerate Vedanta, in a setback to Modi's chipmaking plans for India.
