In a significant boost to the ‘Make in India’ initiative, global technology brand OnePlus has partnered with domestic electronics manufacturer Bhagwati Products (BPL) to produce premium tablets in India.

The manufacturing will take place at BPL’s Greater Noida facility, marking an expansion of OnePlus’ local operations beyond smartphones. This move is part of OnePlus’ ‘Project Starlight’ strategy, aimed at deepening local integration and strengthening its long-term commitment to India. Robin Liu, CEO of OnePlus India, stated that localising tablet production reinforces the company’s dedication to innovating for and investing in India, while creating value for its users.

Vikas Jain, Co-Founder of BPL, highlighted that this partnership adds a new product category to their portfolio and manufacturing expertise. The collaboration supports Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of positioning India as a global technology hub. India’s electronics manufacturing sector has grown rapidly, with 300 mobile manufacturing units now operating, up from just two in 2014, and 99.2 percent of mobile phones sold domestically being made in India.
