CHENNAI, India, July 26 (Reuters) - A Foxconn (2317.TW) subsidiary is in talks with India's Tamil Nadu state to invest up to $200 million to build a new plant for electronic components in the southern region, two sources with direct knowledge told Reuters on Wednesday.
Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer, and a spokesperson for Tamil Nadu's industries department declined to comment.
Foxconn already has a sprawling campus near Chennai city in Tamil Nadu where it assembles Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhones.
Foxconn is also in talks with western Gujarat state as it eyes entry into India's semiconductor sector.
Last week, Karnataka state government in south India said it held talks with FII, which had committed to invest $1.07 billion for a new plant.
