Dell Inc expects its proposed Indian plant to begin production by end-2006 and help the world's largest personal computer maker to win share in a booming market by cutting delivery time.
"We would like to have this manufacturing facility up and running within this year," Paul-Henri Ferrand, Dell's vice president for South Asia, told reporters on May 25. He did not say where the plant would be set up or how much Dell will invest.
"Local manufacturing will enable us to have the same supply and delivery chains as we have in many other markets."
India will be the seventh location where Dell has a plant. It has two manufacturing sites in China and one in Malaysia in the region, where demand for computer hardware is soaring due to relatively lower penetration rates compared with western markets.
