A major controversy is building up in Karnataka, as global tech giant Foxconn has landed in the middle of a serious local dispute. Two gram panchayats near Bengaluru have issued official notices to Foxconn, demanding clarification on tax payments, land usage, building approvals, and employment commitments. This issue has now turned political, creating pressure on the ruling Congress government, while the state industries department has announced that it will step in to resolve the matter. Foxconn, which is planning to establish a major iPhone assembly and electronics manufacturing hub in Karnataka, is one of the state’s biggest investors, making this standoff both economically and politically sensitive.


The dispute is centered around Doddahalli and nearby village areas in Karnataka, where Foxconn’s large manufacturing facilities are reportedly already operational. Local gram panchayat representatives claim that the company has not shared key documents related to construction approvals, land usage permissions, and occupancy certificates. They also allege that local tax compliance has not been clearly followed. According to the panchayat, they have officially issued tax demand notices and asked Foxconn to submit all necessary documents related to, building plans, land use details, structural approvals, occupancy permissions. However, they say that these details have not yet been provided.

One of the biggest concerns raised by villagers is employment. Local leaders allege that Foxconn had promised jobs for local youth, but in reality, candidates from outside the region are being hired. They claim that many locals have attended interviews but were rejected, while people from other areas were selected instead. This has created strong resentment among villagers, who feel excluded from development happening on their own land.

The gram panchayats have now issued a 7 day deadline to the company. They have warned that if their concerns are not addressed, they will launch a mass protest involving villagers from multiple nearby areas. Local representatives have clearly stated that they are ready for public demonstrations and sit in protests if Foxconn and authorities fail to respond.

The Karnataka state government has reacted to the growing tension. Officials have said that the industrial area where Foxconn is located falls under the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board, and therefore local gram panchayats do not directly control the land. The industries department has announced that it will intervene and handle the issue, aiming to prevent the situation from escalating. Senior leaders, including Industries Minister MB Patil, have earlier highlighted Foxconn as a pride project for Karnataka, especially in the competition with states like Tamil Nadu and Telangana for attracting large scale investments.
