Dell Computers looking at manufacturing unit in India — Scouting for location in South.
Dell Computers is slated to make a major announcement in India next week, its chairman Michael Dell said on the sidelines of a breakfast meeting organised by CII here.
1984 Michael Dell found Dell Computer Corporation.
Personal computer maker Dell is bullish on India and is thinking about setting a separate unit in the country apart from expanding its present BPO operations.
The company will spell out its investment plans for the country soon, he added.
Dell said the company's BPO business was on the growth path as it expanded facilities in three cities -- Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chandigarh. Dell is moving from the temporary facility model to a campus model in the three cities.
Dell's plans for India come close on the heels of announcements by two other IT majors Intel and AMD to set up units in the country.
GLOBAL IT major Dell Computers is looking to further its engagement with India and even thinking in terms of a manufacturing unit that would be based in a location that has both seaport and airport close by, sources in Davos told Business Line on Saturday.
According to the sources, the company was scouting for place around South India. Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the country was planning to come up with assemble-test-make and fabrication facilities for the IT sector. One of such (ATM) facility would be ready by this year.
