Alphabet may shift Pixel production to India amid US tariffs on Vietnam

Alphabet Inc, the parent company of Google, has begun discussions with its contract manufacturing partners in India—Dixon Technologies and Foxconn—to move a portion of global Pixel smartphone production from Vietnam to India. The move is aimed at fulfilling US-bound shipments, according to a report by The Economic Times.

The first round of talks between Alphabet and the two manufacturers took place approximately two weeks ago. The discussions reflect Alphabet’s broader strategy to diversify its manufacturing base and reduce dependency on Vietnam amid potential tariff hikes by the United States.
