As India plans to become a global manufacturing hub, a contract manufacturer of major Chinese smartphones here has said that while it becomes an “inevitable trend” for smartphone and other tech players to set up manufacturing bases outside China, the process is “not a transfer, but rather a copy of China’s supply chain”.
DBG Technology Co is a contract manufacturer for major Chinese smartphone brands including Xiaomi, Honor and Huawei Technologies Co, reports South China Morning Post. Xu Yusheng, board secretary of DBG, said that the key incentive for setting up manufacturing capabilities in countries such as India and Vietnam is a reduction in tariffs.
