Dell's India Manufacturing Unit Commences

06 Dec, 2006, 12:55 pm IST | by Priyanka Pradhan | Desktops

Computer Hardware manufacturer, Dell has announced commencement of its manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu, India. The Indian unit, set up with an initial investment of US $30 million, will be part of Dell's global network of eight manufacturing facilities, and the company's third facility in Asia-Pacific after Penang in Malaysia, and Xiamen in China. This move by Dell will significantly reduce delivery time of Dell hardware, for Indian users.

Mr. Steve Felice, President — Dell, Asia Pacific and Japan said, "In our most recent fiscal quarter, India has emerged as the fastest growing market for Dell, not just in Asia-Pacific, but around the globe. Setting up the factory will further support our already great growth trajectory as it would enable Dell to better address India's rupee-based market. This is the second new Dell operation in India to be announced this year, after our new Customer Contact Centre at Gurgaon."

Dell's Indian manufacturing unit will initially focus on desktop computers, since that segment makes up 60% of the company’s current business in India. Commercial production in the net plant is expected to begin in the first half of 2007, to roll out the first "Made in India" Dell products.
