Dell is now manufacturing computers in India

Dell’s Indian plant has started operating and it is now manufacturing the company’s products at the plant located at Sriperumbudur, near Chennai.

The company’s first Indian made computer was handed over to the local IT giant Infosys which is one of the major Indian customers of Dell.

The Dell plant here in India currently has a single assembly line, with a capacity to roll out four lakh units per annum on a single shift basis.

The company has enough capacity to expand the production to touch an impressive 2.5 million units per annum over the next few years.

Mr Rajan Anandan, vice president & GM, Dell India added in a statement on this new development: “This facility is very strategic for our operations in India and it will help in reducing the lead time for delivery by 40% - 50%. It will also help in reducing costs and we will pass on the benefits to the customers, as there will be meaningful reduction in prices.”
