Apple has been a massive driver for India's electronics manufacturing boom, because it's Apple that has been strongarming it's suppliers like Foxconn and Envision to start manufacturing (not just assembling) in India - just like how Apple helped turbocharge China's electronics upskilling in the late 2000s and early 2010s which helped Apple vendors like BYD and BOE become global competitors in the 2020s.
Tata Group has also become an Apple vendor now as well for both assembly as well as chip packaging, so they probably helped arbitrate.
Apple and India are also negotiating over a potential $38B anti-trust bill [0] which is a significantly higher priority for both parties.
India: Every phone must install a cyber safety app
Apple: No
India: OK, nevermind
