Google Now Wants To Start Production Of Pixel Phones In India: Report – News18

NEW DELHI:Alphabet Inc’s Google has begun early conversations with home suppliers to maneuver some manufacturing of its Pixel smartphone to India, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing folks accustomed to the matter.

Global tech giants are eyeing India as a producing hub, shifting away from China after strict COVID-related restrictions hindered manufacturing within the nation.

Apple provider Foxconn was given a challenge earlier this month to begin manufacturing iPhones in India.

Google has spoken to Lava International Ltd, Dixon Technologies India and Foxconn Technology Group’s Indian unit Bharat FIH, Bloomberg stated.

Lava, Dixon, Bharat FIH and Alphabet didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark from Reuters.
