Google to make Pixel phones in India

Joining fellow American Apple, South Korean manufacturer Samsung and leading Chinese manufacturers Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi in the "Made in India" initiative, Google will begin producing Pixel smartphones in India.
The statement was made by the business at the yearly Google for India event, which also featured other significant market developments. In a post on X, Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the company is dedicated to being a reliable partner in the nation's digital development story. In order to produce the phones in India, Google will collaborate with foreign contract manufacturers, according to Rick Osterloh, SVP of devices and services. “We will start manufacturing Google Pixel series smartphones in India,” Osterloh said. Google acknowledged India being a priority for Pixel, noting the momentum for Pixel in the country over the past several years.
“Earlier, 98% mobile phones used in India were imported. Now, 98% mobile phones (used in the country) are made in India,” Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
