Apple to build hostels for 100,000 Women Workers across India

Built under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, these residential facilities are anticipated to be ready by the end of the financial year.

Similar housing models in China and Vietnam have proven successful by enhancing worker efficiency and ensuring the safety of women employees.

To bring this project to fruition, companies within the Apple ecosystem are collaborating with state governments and private sector partners. This will constitute the largest set of hostel facilities built or leased at individual factory sites or by an ecosystem across multiple factories in India's industrial history.
