Dell handed out its first Made in India desktop computer system to Infosys.
The PCs have been manufactured at Dell’s new manufacturing facility at Sriperumbudur near Chennai. Located on a 50-acre site with a planned five-year investment of about $30 million (about Rs 120 crore), Dell expects initial capacity for the Chennai operation of 4,00,000 desktop computers per annum.
Rajan Anandan, vice president and GM, Dell India said: “The Chennai operation reaffirms the strategic importance of India to Dell providing significant impetus to our growth plans and prospects here where we are already among the fastest growing computer systems suppliers.”
After formally selecting the Chennai site in September 2006, Dell commenced work on the project three months later. Sriperumbudur is the company’s third manufacturing location in its Asia-Pacific and Japan region joining Penang, Malaysia, and Xiamen, China, and is part of Dell’s global network of manufacturing facilities.
Earlier this year, Dell commenced manufacturing at a new facility in Brazil, and another will open in Poland later this year. Source:business-standard
