OPPO is making its most serious move yet to deepen its roots in India — and the partner it chooses could reshape the entire Chinese smartphone manufacturing landscape in the country.

What’s Happening with OPPO?

Chinese smartphone giant OPPO is in talks with Indian electronics makers Amber Group and Bhagwati Products to form a manufacturing joint venture (JV) in India, as part of a larger restructuring strategy that also aims to integrate its sub-brands OnePlus and Realme into its India operations.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed that OPPO is looking to transition to a more localised manufacturing structure by the end of this year, with the restructuring also aimed at separating manufacturing from distribution, sales, and backend functions.

DetailInfo
Companies in JV TalksOPPO, Amber Group, Bhagwati Products
Sub-brands InvolvedOnePlus, Realme
Target TimelineEnd of 2025
Bhagwati’s JV PartnerHuaqin Technologies
Existing OPPO FacilityGreater Noida (operational since 2016)
Government RequirementMinimum 51% Indian ownership in any JV
Bhagwati Lease4.30 lakh sq ft in OPPO’s Noida plant at ₹1.04 cr/month

Why This Move Matters?

The discussions come as Chinese smartphone companies face tighter regulatory scrutiny in India, alongside the government’s increasing push for localisation in electronics manufacturing. The move follows the broader trend set by Vivo and Transsion Group, both of which have announced separate manufacturing joint ventures with Dixon Technologies. Storyboard18

Earlier this year, OPPO had already outsourced production of some smartphones through the Greater Noida factory operated by the Bhagwati-Huaqin joint venture — the same facility previously run by Vivo — making Bhagwati a natural and operationally familiar partner for a more formal deal.

The Indian government has been actively encouraging Chinese smartphone makers to collaborate with Indian companies, aiming to boost local manufacturing and ensure at least 51% domestic ownership in any such venture. CXO Digitalpulse

What’s Next?

No final decision has been taken yet, and discussions are still underway. Regulatory investigations involving OPPO India do not automatically prevent manufacturing expansion, particularly when companies continue cooperating with authorities and maintain operational continuity. Storyboard18
