HPE Deploys Made in India Servers Ahead of Schedule

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) deploys its "Made in India” servers on a large scale, surpassing expectations and meeting the increasing demands of Indian customers ahead of schedule. The unveiling of HPE's Make in India plan in July 2023, in collaboration with Indian manufacturer VVDN Technologies, is aimed at manufacturing approximately $1 billion worth of high-volume servers within the first five years of production.

Working hand in hand with HPE, VVDN Technologies swiftly established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Manesar, Haryana, which is now fully operational. Over the past eight months, both companies have prioritized automation, control, and quality in setting up production and testing capabilities. These “Made in India” HPE servers, designed to provide exceptional value, cater to a diverse range of applications and workloads, empowering Indian businesses and organizations to optimize their IT infrastructure and gain a competitive edge in today's digital landscape.

Som Satsangi, Senior Vice President and Managing Director at HPE India, expressed gratitude to the government and the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) for their vision in introducing the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program, which has played a crucial role in encouraging OEMs like HPE to establish a manufacturing footprint in India. Satsangi reiterated HPE's commitment to driving innovation, nurturing local talent, and contributing to India’s economic growth.

Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) through surface-mounted technology is a technically complex and critical aspect of server manufacturing. The PCBA capability in India enhances the servers' local value beyond assembly and testing, further solidifying HPE's position as a trusted supplier to government and public sector customers.

Puneet Agarwal, CEO of VVDN Technologies, emphasized the collaboration's contribution to India's aspiration of becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse, reflecting a commitment to local expertise and the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat (‘self-reliant India’).
