The Foxconn statement appeared to be in response to announcements made by the governments of Karnataka and Telangana in the past few days that suggested that large investment deals by the iPhone maker<\/a> in their respective states had been finalised.
Foxconn also said the employment figures that were reported \"do not equate to direct jobs\" with the company. Both Karnataka and Telangana had said that the Foxconn projects in their respective states would generate 1 lakh jobs. But it wasn't clear whether those would be direct jobs, or whether those included indirect ones.
TOI had reported correctly that the Karnataka government and Foxconn had signed a letter of intent to establish a major facility in Bengaluru.
'Agreement just a matter of time'<\/strong>
The state government had shown a 300-acre site near Kempegowda International Airport to the visiting delegation. A letter of intent is not a conclusive agreement.
However, Karnataka government officials expressed confidence that the investment agreement is just a matter of time. \"I can only state this much, Foxconn will come to Karnataka and the groundwork is being completed for the purpose,\" IT-BT minister CN Ashwath Narayan said.
An industries department official said the state high-level clearance committee (SHLCC) - which has to clear all large projects - is expected to give Foxconn clearance for the 300-acre land near the airport when the committee meets in the coming week. \"We expect the manufacturing unit of the company to be set up as early as next year,\" the department official said. Some sources said Foxconn came under pressure from Apple<\/a> to issue the clarification after Bommai and Union minister of state for information technology Rajeev Chandrasekar tweeted that Apple phones would be made in the Foxconn plant. Apple, these sources said, is not ready to make those announcements yet.
