NOKIA HUAWEI has set up a factory in India China manufacturing suffered shunt

A month ago, when NOKIA (China) Investment Limited company president He Qingyuan told reporters about the upcoming November start of the NOKIA factory in India, he China continues to maintain the world factory table showing obvious advantage of the one and only worry.

Today, the world's largest mobile phone market share, selling 6.8 phones per second in the world, the giant is still in the same magic speed layout of its world factory. Here, and Chinese, have almost the same amount population of the country - India - NOKIA is entering the field of vision, two months after operation of the India base will become NOKIA in the Asia Pacific region after South Korea, Chinese after third production bases. Since then, NOKIA in the India market will no longer need to "made in China" solidarity.

In fact, He Qingyuan's worries are not redundant, when more and more multinational companies such as NOKIA to India to transfer their production capacity, once known as software outsourcing India is becoming increasingly hard".

At the same time, India official also in September 26th, the India National Awakening, the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry committee released the first "national manufacturing strategy" and "white paper, aim at the China competition of global manufacturing centre".

NOKIA is not the only one in the "India made" mobile phone manufacturers.

A research report from consulting firm Research and Markets Ireland, released, and Chinese, India also has a large number of surplus labor, similar environmental factors make it an ideal candidate for low cost of manufacturing. For example, the report said, LG electronics may plan to India as other South Asian countries, the Middle East and Africa and other emerging markets export base, because "India is closer to the market than china".

The report also said, India is likely to attract those who want to spread to China production base outside the company, these companies are unlikely to temporarily transfer the existing manufacturing business in Chinese, but may consider expanding business in other areas."

The general manager of NOKIA Dongguan company Cai Zhiqiang told reporters, NOKIA has 9 mobile phone factory in the world, the Asia Pacific region in the past three, a Korean, two in India and Chinese; base before, in the regional division, NOKIA Asia divides into two areas, the mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan China into a area, other area into a zone. In the past, China's domestic mobile phone production and export half, part of the direct supply of exports, including India and other South Asian markets.

The rise of India manufacturing will break this by China support south of the situation, the establishment of a new "balance" -- "Chinese original two factory to supply the Asia Pacific region including India market, India factory production, will meet the market in India is also part of the South Asian market, to a certain extent, will cause great pressure on us export." He Qingyuan said that NOKIA China is very eager to get more production tasks from other countries to fight for China, is currently trying to get the opportunity to get 3G phones in china".
