Make in India

[warriorextreme]

I wonder what these parts are?
passive SMT components?
PCB?
Speakers?
Battery assembly?
plastic/glass/metal casings for phones?
screen assembly?

I hope all of these and more 500 acres is humungous size for a component manufacturing plant so I hope they are going big bang.

700 Larne jobs threatened as Caterpillar migrates manufacturing to India

HUNDREDS of highly-skilled workers at Caterpillar's plant in Larne are set to lose their jobs over the next year as the US manufacturing giant migrates some of its manufacturing function to low-cost overseas locations like India.

As many as 700 production, support and management positions will be impacted after the company opened a 90-day consultation process to restructure its electric power division operations in Northern Ireland.

Caterpillar, which commands global sales of around $55 billion, says the decision supports its ongoing plan to better utilise existing capacity and improve cost competitiveness, though it stressed the move wasn't as a result of Covid-19 or Brexit.

The Unite union's regional officer George Brash said: “This is a scandalous decision geared only to increase further the company’s corporate profits and outsource production to India.

Japan lures 2 firms from China to India: As global supply chains shift, India needs to grab its opportunity

According to the latest reports, the Japanese government has struck a deal with two companies – Toyota-Tsusho and Sumida – which will see it offer financial assistance to shift their manufacturing bases out of China to India, under a recent subsidy-based programme to reduce the nation's supply-chain reliance on China. The announcement followed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with global investors yesterday where he reiterated his intent to transform India into a global manufacturing hub in the coming years.

My company was providing IT outsourcing to Caterpillar and we had our resources working in their Shanghai plant. But last year Shanghai council made many policy changes for foreign companies operating there. This threw out 90% of their non-chinese workforce out of china.
It great news for us that they are moving their operation from other countries to India.

PLI scheme powers up lithium-ion cell manufacturing

Automotive and industrial battery manufacturers such as Exide may also diversify into lithium-ion cell manufacturing

www.livemint.com

Companies are accelerating plans to produce lithium-ion cells in the country, hoping to take advantage of ₹18,000 crore worth of government subsidies announced last month, two people directly aware of the developments said.

The production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme announced by the Union government could spur these companies to start local manufacturing of lithium-ion cells in the next couple of years, the people said, requesting anonymity.

Tata Chemicals Ltd is likely to soon start building a manufacturing facility for lithium-ion cells in Gujarat, said the people cited above. The Tata group company is likely to seek incentives under the PLI scheme and may also export cells from India, the people said, adding that the company has acquired land for the proposed facility in the Dholera region of Gujarat.

The second person said automotive and industrial battery manufacturers such as Exide Batteries and Amara Raja may also diversify into lithium-ion cell manufacturing to qualify for the PLI scheme. “Most of these manufacturers have already shared their plans to get into lithium-ion battery manufacturing in India and the PLI scheme will definitely propel them to get into cell manufacturing in the coming years. Most manufacturers with plans to get into this new sector were waiting for the government to come up with this scheme," the person said.

Hope they don't end up making Yulu like electric 'bikes' and pass them off as scooters for point-2-point commuting or last mile commuting.

Ather electric scooters are pretty good though a little steeply priced. Let's see if Ola follows their footsteps too.
