Bengaluru - Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced that its “Made in India” servers are now being deployed at a large scale to serve the growing demands of Indian customers ahead of schedule.

Manufactured in VVDN’s state-of-the-art facility at Manesar, HPE servers are designed to cater to a wide range of applications and workloads.

HPE unveiled its Make in India plan in July 2023, together with Indian manufacturer VVDN Technologies, and plans to manufacture approximately USD 1 billion worth of high-volume servers in the first five years of production.

In partnership with HPE, VVDN established its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Manesar, Haryana, in record time and it is now operational at full scale. Automation, control, and quality of manufacturing operations have been the top priorities for both companies over the past eight months while setting up production and testing capabilities.

Designed to deliver exceptional value, these “Made in India” HPE servers cater to a wide range of applications and workloads, empowering Indian businesses and organizations to optimize their IT infrastructure and drive competitive advantage in today’s digital landscape.

“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the government and the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY). Their vision in introducing the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program has been instrumental in encouraging OEMs like us to establish a manufacturing footprint in India. HPE remains committed to driving innovation, fostering local talent, and contributing to India’s economic growth,” said Som Satsangi SVP and Managing Director, at HPE India.

Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) through surface-mounted technology is one of the most technically complex and critical aspects of server manufacturing. The PCBA capability in India creates significant local value enhancement for the servers beyond just assembly and testing. This further strengthens the company’s ability to serve its government and public sector customers by being a trusted and preferred supplier.

“Our collaboration with HPE is a significant contribution towards India’s goal of becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse. Together, we are establishing advanced manufacturing capabilities in India that reflect our commitment to local expertise and an Atmanirbhar Bharat (‘self-reliant India’),” said Puneet Agarwal, CEO, of VVDN Technologies.

HPE’s plan to manufacture servers in India aligns with its broader objective of supply chain diversification and resiliency. The company is actively exploring opportunities to deepen localization by leveraging VVDN’s backward integration capability and expanding its portfolio of products manufactured in India.

HPE has its largest workforce outside of the United States in India. Its largest campus in the world at Mahadevapura in Bengaluru is home to more than 4,000 scientists, engineers, and research teams working as a part of its research and development hub at this campus.
