German Firm to Build Plant in India After China Export Blocks
Imagine a company that makes giant machines to dig tunnels.
This company, Herrenknecht, used to make these machines in China to send to India.
But China stopped letting these machines leave.
This caused problems for building things in India.
So, the company decided to build a factory in India instead.
This helps them avoid problems and shows that they are changing where they make their products.
This change is happening because of disagreements between India and China, particularly after a past conflict.
This also reflects Germany's move to strengthen ties with India.
Herrenknecht will establish production facilities in India.
Export delays from China disrupted infrastructure projects.
Chinese customs blocked Herrenknecht machines.
The company is diversifying its manufacturing to India.
India raised the matter with Berlin and Beijing.
