It will be manufactured at our Puducherry facility,” Katiyal said. Lenovo is among the firms that have been selected for the Rs 17,000-crore IT hardware production-linked incentive scheme.

The number of benches across our four big R&D centres is the same. India will have high skillset ecosystem that matches our global facility and all four units are at par with each other,” Lenovo India, Infrastructure Group, Managing Director, Amit Luthra said.
