Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced that its “Made in India” servers are being deployed at large scale to meet the demands of Indian customers ahead of schedule.
HPE, as part of its Make in India strategy announced in July 2023, has tied up with manufacturer VVDN Technologies. HPE plans to manufacture approximately $1 billion worth of high-volume servers in the first five years of production.
VVDN has set up its manufacturing facility in Manesar, Haryana, in record time.
India government’s vision in introducing the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program has been instrumental in encouraging OEMs to establish a manufacturing footprint in India, said Som Satsangi, SVP and managing director, at HPE India.
Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) through surface mounted technology is one of the critical aspects of server manufacturing. The PCBA capability in India creates significant local value enhancement for the servers beyond just assembly and testing.
HPE is exploring opportunities to deepen localization by leveraging VVDN’s backward integration capability and expanding its products manufactured from India.
