Chinese telecoms giant Huawei will start making smartphones in India next month, the company said on Sept. 23, joining a wave of compatriots setting up in one of the world's biggest mobile phone markets.
The plant will be operated with the Indian arm of electronics manufacturer Flextronics in the southern Indian city of Chennai, Huawei said in a statement.
The Chinese firm will also expand its Indian retail network, increasing to more than 50,000 the number of outlets it partners with by the end of the year.
As growth in China stagnates, India, the world's fastest-growing smartphone market, provides Huawei and rivals like Xiaomi with new opportunities to expand.
