Google is setting up its drone manufacturing operations in Tamil Nadu, India, as part of its expansion plans into the Indian market.
The Company will export the drones it makes in India to countries like the US and Australia, as per a report by Moneycontrol. The tech giant is reportedly in discussions with the Tamil Nadu government to establish production facilities for drones.
Alphabet’s subsidiary, Wing LLC, which specialises in drone delivery services, will be spearheading the manufacturing operations in Tamil Nadu.
With the setting up of drone assembly lines in Tamil Nadu, Wing aims to solidify its global operations and cater to the increasing demand for autonomous delivery solutions in India. The move aligns with Google’s broader strategy to diversify its manufacturing footprint and leverage India’s skilled workforce and conducive business environment.
