When it comes to manufacturing, China is the country. Companies like Dell have invested billions of dollars there and the reality is that they ship products everywhere from China. Naturally, having an alternative is a good thing for major manufacturing countries. As far as automobile is concerned, India has proved to be a good destination for production and all the major automakers in the world are now in India.

It seems that India can be a good place for computer manufacturing too. 

Business Week reported:

India, Asia’s third-largest economy, needs to spend $1 trillion on roads, ports, power and other infrastructure between 2012 and 2017 to help accelerate economic growth to 10 percent and cut poverty, Singh said this week. Getting computer makers like Dell to invest in India rather than China is “an area where there are immense opportunities,” Singh said in a March 23 speech to members of India’s Planning Commission.

Singh and Dell met a day after Google Inc. started routing China-based users to an unfiltered search service on its Hong Kong site. The move capped a standoff between China and Google, which in January said hackers in China stole data and targeted the e-mail accounts of human-rights activists.
