Google has informed suppliers to start production of their Pixel smartphones in India no earlier than the next quarter, as part of its plan to ship more than 10 million Pixel phones this year, according to a report by Nikkei.
In October of last year, Google announced that it would begin manufacturing smartphones in India, and its flagship Pixel 8 smartphone will be available there in 2024, as it focuses on the key growing market.
This move will also help Google diversify its supply chain from China, reports Reuters. The tech giant will set up production lines for its flagship Pixel 8 Pro smartphones in the coming weeks and will start phone production in April-June, according to the report citing "informed" sources.
The report does not specify how many phones Google plans to manufacture in India, as well as whether these smartphones will be sold in the country or exported.
