    WoW! Amazing decision. More and more manufacturing should be transferred to India. Way to go.

              Now army of dedicated CCP employees will start praising China's quality and will try to show inferior and poor state of India.
              If it had been moved to Vietnam same thing would have happened.
              But everyone knows the truth.

              Waiting for more comments from them :D

                    So the quality will drop cause there is no experience in the work force in India with the electronics. As soon as the quality goes up they need to move there factories to another cheap labor countries to take advantage from them and start to go market war with India and accuse them of spying and all that we see now with China

                          It doesn't look like China is interested in getting it back either otherwise they would have announced subsidies to retain the business as previously done.

                              This benefits the company and the government bureaucrats but not the indian consumer who still will pay the same inflated price regardless if it is manufactured locally or imported.

                                      Production is likely going to be cheaper, not that savings will be passed onto consumers but QC may take a hit, at leat in the short tlrun versus experienced manufacturering from China
