Report: Google To Begin Manufacturing Pixel Phones In India
According to sources familiar with the matter, Google has initiated preliminary discussions with local suppliers to relocate a portion of its Pixel smartphone production to India, as reported by Bloomberg News on Tuesday.
Global tech giants are eyeing India as a manufacturing hub to shift away from China after strict COVID restrictions hampered production in the country.

Google has spoken to Lava International Ltd, Dixon Technologies India and Bharat FIH, the India unit of Foxconn Technology Group, Bloomberg said.
