Oppo to Make Smartphones in India

(Beijing) — Leading Chinese smartphone maker Oppo Electronics Group will build a 1.5 billion yuan ($216 million) production base in India, joining a growing group of domestic rivals that are setting up locally based factories in one of the world’s fastest growing markets.

The new factory in the city of Greater Noida will become operational in two to three years, with initial annual capacity of 50 million units, an Oppo spokesman said on Wednesday. That volume will eventually double to 1 million units, he added.
