OnePlus to start building phones in India

Looks like the Digital India movement is paying off to India.Yes,it is. Chinese smartphone company OnePlus has announced that it would open a manufacturing plant in India by the end of 2015. 

The production facility is planned to be setup at the Siri City Integrated Business City in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The 30,000 square feet production facility would support a production capacity of 500,000 units per month allowing  the company to pursue a more aggressive marketing and retail in the country.

The goal  of the company is to improve the supply of handsets to the country thereby allowing faster and  more frequent sales. The company would now not need to ship the handsets from its main manufacturing plant and it would result in a lot of savings. The first batch of the smartphones manufactured in India is expected to be available by the end of the year. Although, delay can to be expected as setting up of the company would itself take time.
