It will help Google compete more effectively with PC makers such as Dell and Asus.

HP is one of the applicants under the government’s Rs 17,000 crore production-linked incentive scheme for IT hardware.

A joint statement of Google and HP said Chromebooks are leading devices in K-12 education, helping over 50 million students and teachers across the world.

The local production of Chromebooks expands HP’s India-made PC portfolio.

HP has been expanding its manufacturing operations in India since 2020, and from December 2021, started manufacturing a wide range of laptops in India, including HP EliteBooks, HP ProBooks, and HP G8 series notebooks.

It has also expanded its portfolio of locally manufactured commercial desktops by adding various models of desktop mini towers (MT), mini desktops (DM), small form factor (SFF) desktops, and a range of All-in-One PCs.
