OnePlus has entered into a partnership with Bhagwati Products Ltd. (BPL), an Indian electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company, to begin local production of its tablets. This collaboration will see OnePlus tablets manufactured at BPL’s facility in Greater Noida.
The initial products to be manufactured under this agreement are the OnePlus Pad 3 and the OnePlus Pad Lite. The local assembly of these tablets is a key component of the new partnership, extending OnePlus’s “Made in India” portfolio beyond smartphones.
According to the company, this move aligns with its long-term strategy for the Indian market and its “Project Starlight” initiative, which focuses on deepening local integration and manufacturing capabilities. While OnePlus has been manufacturing smartphones in India, this partnership marks the first time its tablet products will be produced domestically.
The company recently partnered with Optiemus Electronics for making AIoT products in India, starting with the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3.
As the manufacturing partner, Bhagwati Products Ltd. will manage the production and localization of OnePlus tablets specifically for the Indian market from its Greater Noida plant.
Regarding the collaboration, Robin Liu, CEO, OnePlus India, said:
The collaboration with BPL marks a strategic milestone in our India journey towards deepening our manufacturing capabilities and expanding our connected ecosystem. By localizing tablet production, we are not only reinforcing our commitment to India, but also creating meaningful value for our user community. This partnership reflects our long-term vision to innovate for India, invest in India, and grow with India.
Commenting on the partnership, Vikas Jain, Co-Founder, Bhagwati Products Limited said:
We are excited to join hands with OnePlus for their new range of tablets. With our rapidly advancing manufacturing capabilities and growing team of experts we are proud to deliver value and precision. This milestone not only marks the addition of OnePlus to our customer portfolio but also the introduction of a new form factor to our manufacturing expertise at our Greater Noida facility. We look forward to building on this momentum and forging a long-term, mutually rewarding partnership with them.
