Lenovo mulls making servers in India

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Lenovo plans to ramp up local manufacturing in India, which it considers its top-priority market globally. The Chinese company, which makes laptops, tablets, servers and smartphones—under the Motorola brand—is evaluating manufacturing of servers in India as it looks to take advantage of the production-linked incentive scheme for IT hardware amid regulatory clampdown in the US. The Chinese technology major makes desktops and personal computers locally, besides all Motorola smartphones sold in India. Vlad Rozanovich, president, infrastructure solution group, Lenovo, said that the regulatory changes made by the US that restrict chipmakers such as Nvidia, Intel, and AMD from exporting advanced semiconductor products to China, make India a critical consideration for companies such as Lenovo. Therefore, the company needs to boost its manufacturing capabilities around data centre products, specifically high-end GPU-related products in India, either through manufacturing partners or on its own.
