US-based Jabil, a supplier to Apple, will base its plant near the city of Trichy as part of an agreement signed in Chicago that will create close to 5,000 jobs, Tamil Nadu Minister T R B Rajaa said on social media site X.
"India is emerging as a key manufacturing hub," said Matt Crowley, executive vice president for global business units at Jabil.
