HP and Google have joined forces to bring the 'Make in India' initiative to life, with the announcement of the manufacture of HP Chromebooks in India. Starting October 2, the production of these devices will cater to the demand for affordable PCs from the education sector.

From December 2021, HP has started manufacturing a wide range of laptops in India, including HP EliteBooks, HP ProBooks, and HP G8 series notebooks. HP has also expanded its portfolio of locally manufactured commercial desktops by adding various models of desktop mini towers, mini desktops, small form factor desktops, and a range of All-in-One PCs. These products include both Intel and AMD processor options for customers of all types.
HP and Google's collaboration is a significant move to support the 'Make in India' initiative. The production of HP Chromebooks in India will provide easy access to affordable PCs for students, helping to spur the digital transformation of education.
