India Seeks Bigger Role as Google Diversifies Pixel Production

Google may move some production of Pixel phones and other devices out of China starting in 2027.

This is happening because technology companies want their factories and suppliers spread across several countries.

India and Vietnam could receive much of this work.

Vietnam currently has an advantage because it already has many suppliers and factories.

India has made progress, especially by producing many iPhones and increasing electronics exports.

However, India still imports many important parts and adds only about 20-22% of the value domestically.

The article says India should build better suppliers, infrastructure, skills, and rules instead of relying only on subsidies.

If it succeeds, India could make more complex products and attract more investment.
