Google’s Announcement at the Event
During a recent Google event held in New Delhi, the company made a significant announcement. Google declared its intent to manufacture Google Pixels smartphones in India. This transition will begin with the launch of the Google Pixels 8 series in India in 2024. The company is planning to establish manufacturing units in collaboration with global manufacturers to produce smartphones for the Indian market.
Notably, the event saw the presence of several Indian ministers, including the Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, signifying the importance of this move.
Expanding Service Centers
Google is not only venturing into smartphone manufacturing but also intends to expand its service center network. This expansion aims to provide efficient services to Indian consumers. Google plans to open 28 service centers in 27 Indian cities initially, making it convenient for consumers to address their concerns directly at these service centers.
Advantages of ‘Made in India’ Google Pixels
The decision to manufacture Google Pixels smartphones in India will bring several benefits. Firstly, the import duty that was previously levied on Google Pixels phones imported to India will no longer apply, potentially reducing the overall cost of the devices. Furthermore, local manufacturing will create job opportunities for the Indian workforce, aiding in employment generation.
Projected Price of ‘Made in India’ Google Pixels
Currently, the Google Pixel 8 series, launched as ‘Made in China/US,’ is priced at approximately ₹75,999. However, when the same phone is manufactured in India and launched, it is expected to be competitively priced at around ₹60,000. Please note that this is an estimate, and the actual price may vary.
