OnePlus joins ‘Make in India’ project, partners with Foxconn to begin production in India
OnePlus has announced a new partnership with Foxconn to begin manufacturing handsets locally in India through the Make in India project. This will allow OnePlus to boost the amount of handsets it makes, which have been in severely short supply, in addition to expanding its global reach.
OnePlus announced the deal on Twitter via its OnePlus India account.
We’ve partnered with Foxconn to start local production in India. Special thanks to Andhra Pradesh Govt. @MakeInIndia#NextBigStep

The Make in India program was made “to transform India into a global manufacturing hub.” It’s been a successful initiative so far, with many smartphone manufacturers jumping on board, OnePlus obviously being the newest partnership.
There’s been no official statement on what OnePlus hopes to achieve, but hopefully this partnership will contribute in helping the company produce more smartphones and ship them out in a timely manner, which hasn’t been the case for OnePlus in some time.
