"Google's Pixel smartphones to be manufactured in India"

Google has announced plans to manufacture its Pixel smartphone lineup in India, joining other tech giants in betting on the South Asian market for device manufacturing. The company intends to start local manufacturing with the current Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro models and expects to ship the India-made batch starting next year. India is a key market for Google, and the move is part of the company's commitment to investing over $10 billion in the country. This decision also aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Make-in-India and Digital India, attracting major companies to expand their businesses in the country.
