As of December 2024, the initiative has attracted Rs 520 crore in investments, resulting in Rs 10,000 crore worth of production and the creation of approximately 3,900 jobs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Global tech giants are responding positively. Taiwanese company Asus has partnered with VVDN Technologies to establish an assembly line in Manesar, capable of producing a new laptop every 240 seconds. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Similarly, MSI has collaborated with Gurugram-based Syrma SGS to commence local manufacturing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Dixon Technologies is making significant strides by investing over Rs 1,000 crore in a new facility in Tamil Nadu. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">This plant is set to produce laptops for HP, Lenovo, and Asus, with an initial annual capacity of two million units. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Currently, Indias domestic production accounts for 10 20% of total laptop imports, valued at approximately $11 billion in FY24.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The shift is also influenced by escalating trade tensions between China and the United States, prompting companies to seek alternative manufacturing bases. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">India's growing manufacturing capabilities, combined with government incentives, make it an attractive destination for global laptop production.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">With these developments, India is not only enhancing its domestic manufacturing landscape but also reducing dependency on imports, particularly from China, thereby strengthening its position in the global electronics supply chain.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 41824 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/sectors/india-emerges-as-global-laptop-manufacturing-hub-amid-shift-from-china 2025-04-22 16:45:03 knnindia.co.in
