NARASAPURA, INDIA -- Wistron will invest $431 million in new facilities in India as it migrates more electronics production there, the company said in a stock exchange filing.

The ODM, which operates in India under Wistron InfoComm Manufacturing (India), indicated it would complete phase one of its expansion by June this year.

Wistron plans to use the funds to expand the Narasapura campus, outside Bengaluru, where it will build smartphones, PCs, and IoT, medical and cloud service products.

This is the latest move by the world's major ODM/EMS companies to shore up their capacity outside China in order to avoid tariffs levied by the US.

The Narasapura campus opened on a 100-acre plot last year. Wistron also operates multiple plants in Peenya, where it employs more than 1,000 workers.
