Dell said today it would open its first Indian manufacturing facility in the state of Tamil Nadu.
The new facility and related operations will be located in a 50-acre area in Sriperumbudur Hi-Tech Park, outside Chennai.
Dell said that in its most recent operating quarter, its shipments in India increased 82 per cent, while revenue grew 63 percent.
The company expects to begin manufacturing in India in the first half of 2007, initially focusing on desktop computers, which make up about 70 per cent of its current business in India.
