Alphabet Inc., led by Sundar Pichai, will start manufacturing Pixel smartphones in Tamil Nadu, as announced by Chief Minister MK Stalin. The company plans to collaborate with Foxconn Technology Group to establish production facilities near Chennai. Additionally, Alphabet's subsidiary Wing may begin drone assembly in the state. This decision follows a visit by Tamil Nadu officials and Foxconn executives to Google's headquarters in California. Tamil Nadu, already a key player in mobile phone manufacturing with significant Apple and Tata operations, will further enhance its industry standing. This move is part of Google’s plan to begin Pixel 8 production in India, announced in 2023.
