Three popular Chinese brands are reportedly in talks with Indian phone manufacturers about making phones locally and selling them to the global markets. As per a Bloomberg report, this decision comes after considering the cash incentives that the local phone makers get.

Will we get assembled in India phones?

The three brands in question are Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, some of the largest Chinese smartphone makers. As per the report, these companies are in discussion with two of the well-known Indian manufacturers. Xiaomi is following up with Dixon Technologies, while Oppo and Vivo are in talks with Lava. If the plan succeeds, we expect to see phones from Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo labeled with the ‘Assembled in India‘ tag.

Reportedly, these brands want to take advantage of cash incentives available to local phone makers like Lava and Dixon. With the incentive benefits, the company may be able to offer affordable products in India. The phone prices may vary for the other markets getting these India-assembled devices.

Both Lava and Dixon technologies are said to be aimed at boosting India’s competitiveness and making the country a hub for electronics production. If all goes as planned, this process could start as early as this year.

As for now, company officials from these three brands are likely to visit the Indian factories soon.
