The Shenzhen-headquartered Chinese telecom giant, which considers India a major market for its Huawei and Honor brands after China, is also gearing to manufacture smartphones in the country. Huawei recently partnered with US-based Flextronics for this purpose.

"We have been present in India for the last 16 years, and as part of our India focus, we have been consistently expanding our footprint in the market," Huawei India chief Jay Chen said last week.
