OnePlus To Start Manufacturing Smartphones in India To Meet Up With Growing Demands

Due to the growing demand of OnePlus smartphone in India, the company is planning to start manufacturing the OnePlus 3T in India starting next year. This was revealed in an interview by the general manager of OnePlus India Vikas Agarwal with Reuters.

According to him,

"We actually probably have lost, I would say, maybe 30 percent of sales because of stock-outs," Agarwal told Reuters. "The focus is on trying our best to meet the demand."

Behind China and USA, India is actually the third-largest smartphone market in the world by number of users  and also one of the major sources of revenue for OnePlus, accounting for a third of its global sales. The OnePlus 3T which was launched on Amazon India this week, has already earned the company around 200,000 registrations for the new smartphone, which is going for the starting price of $442 in India.

There is actually no concrete information from the OnePlus manger in India regarding who OnePlus will partner with in the manufacturing process of their Smartphone in india, he only stated that the company will work with “multiple partners” and mentioning Foxconn as one possible partner.

Although OnePlus already have seven service centers in India at the moment, Agarwal said the company will open six more service centers and also an “experience center” where potential customers will be able to see and test OnePlus products.
