Popular Chinese smartphone-maker Huawei has officially announced the local production of the company's bestselling Android phone Honor 7X, thus giving impetus to the Indian government's ambitious "Make in India" initiative.

Huawei in collaboration with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partner Flex Telecom, inaugurated in September 2016 the manufacturing plant in Sriperumbudur near Chennai, planning to start producing the Honor-series phones. It began with Holly 3 and later Honor 6X series. Now, the company has confirmed that the Honor 7X will be their next Android phone to carry the "Made in India" tag.
