After setting up their manufacturing operations in the country, big global electronics firms are now preparing to set up mega campuses in the country, which will have a cluster of factories producing a range of their products, communications and IT minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

“Electronics manufacturing has gathered pace in the country. Going ahead we will see many global players set up mega manufacturing campuses in the country. These will be 100-plus acre campuses which will house several units,” Vaishnaw said.

Stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ has gathered pace, the minister said that during his recent visit to Davos, several global firms met him and evinced interest in setting up mega campuses in India.

The minister’s comments assume significance as it comes a day after South Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung announced that it will manufacture laptops in India. Last year in October, Google had announced that it will manufacture its Pixel phones in the country.
