Google wants to produce Pixel smartphones in India in the future. The company will collaborate with domestic and foreign manufacturers in India so that the smartphones are expected to be available from next year, the company said on Thursday.
The announcement was made at the ninth annual Google for India event in New Delhi.
India is an important market, the report said. In addition, in the future it should be possible to buy metro tickets via Google Maps in India.
Apple submitted
In September, Google’s rival Apple sold devices from Indian factories for the first time when a new iPhone model went on sale. An unknown number of Indian-made iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have gone on sale in various countries, including India itself.
Other tech companies also increasingly want to produce in India. With its 1.4 billion inhabitants, the country is the most populous in the world and is considered a growth market. Most people there have used cheap Android mobile devices from China so far. Google is also involved in several disputes with the Indian Competition Authority.
