Apple (AAPL) and other foreign companies in India will be able to provide machines to their contractors in certain regions for five years without any tax risk, according to an official explanation of the country's 2026-2027 budget released Sunday.

The proposal to exempt foreign companies from taxes on any income from providing capital goods, equipment, or tooling to a contract manufacturer is being implemented "to promote manufacturing of electronic goods by a contract manufacturer and provide certainty on taxation of supply of capital equipment by a foreign company to such manufacturer," the government said.

The tax break is effective April 1 and remains in place until the 2030-2031 tax year, the government said.

Apple did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
