Hewlett Packard plans to locally make 1 in 3 PCs sold in India by 2031
Personal computer major HP is planning to more than double production of its devices in India by 2031, a senior company official said on Thursday.
While announcing the launch of new artificial intelligence-enabled laptops, HP India, senior director for personal systems Vineet Gehani told PTI that 13 per cent of total HP personal computers sold in India in 2025 will be manufactured locally.
"Our commitment to India extends beyond innovation; it includes deep investment in local manufacturing. By the end of 2025, approximately 13 per cent of all HP PCs sold in India will be locally produced. And looking ahead, our vision is bold: by 2031, one in every three HP PCs sold in India will be Made in India," Gehani said.
HP led the India PC market with 30.1 per cent market share in 2024 and 30 per cent share in the December quarter despite a decline of about 1 per cent in annual and 1.8 per cent in quarterly supplies, as per IDC estimates.
The company has partnered with electronic manufacturing services companies Dixon and VVDN for manufacturing laptops in India.
In a move to cash on demand for artificial intelligence (AI), HP unveiled nine models across EliteBooks, ProBooks OmniBook series with Intel, AMD and Qualcomm processors to cater to AI workloads.
The company said the new laptops come with latest processors, including Intel Core Ultra 200 V series, AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and Qualcomm Snapdragon X, X Elite, X plus with dedicated neural processing units that makes them capable of performing 40-55 trillion operations per second.
The starting price of the new devices ranges from Rs 78,999 (HP OmniBook 5 16-inch) to Rs 1.86 lakh apiece (HP OmniBook Ultra 14-inch).
Gehani said it is still early to quantify AI PC adoption in India but global trends are a strong indicator of what lies ahead.
"15-20 per cent of all PCs sold worldwide this year will be AI PCs, with the figure expected to exceed 50 per cent in the next two to three years. India is poised to follow this trajectory closely," he said.

The cumulative value of homes in Rs 1+ crore increased by 14 percent YoY compared with April 2024. Majority of the registered properties in Hyderabad were concentrated in the range of 1,000 to 2,000 square feet (sq ft), accounting for 67 percent of all registrations, the report stated. Units sized >2,000 sq ft accounted for 18 per cent of the total registrations as compared with the 15 per cent registered during April 2024.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India said, 'Hyderabad's residential market recorded a marginal decline in monthly sales volume in April 2025, reflecting a short-term moderation in transaction the sustained demand for premium homes—especially those priced above Rs 1 crore, which now contribute significantly to overall registration value—continues to demonstrate the market's underlying strength. This evolving buyer preference toward larger, higher-value homes indicates growing confidence in Hyderabad's long-term liveability and economic potential'. UNI KNR BD

Kolkata victims lose over Rs 78 lakh in jewellery and cyber fraud cases
Kolkata: Two separate frauds in the city have led victims to lose more than Rs 78 lakh. In the first case reported from central Kolkata, a woman who arrived in Kolkata after the pandemic filed a police complaint against three individuals, including a man allegedly impersonating an army officer, for fraudulently obtaining her jewellery worth over Rs 11 lakh to be used to acquire a gold loan. In another incident, a resident of Action Area-2D, New Town, fell victim to a sophisticated cyber fraud scheme, losing Rs 67.5 lakh in a fake online share trading scam. The first victim, a resident of Purna Das Road, accused one person named P Mahajan, who posed as a major, a retired "colonel" by the name R Robertson, and one woman of deceiving her under the pretense of requiring financial assistance for their business. According to the complaint, Mahajan and the 'colonel' gained the victim's trust by taking her to military installations in the city. The accused also arranged for her attendance at the Republic Day Parade to establish credibility. "They approached me claiming their business was facing losses and needed financial support," claimed the victim.

Govt prioritising lower denomination notes and digital transactions: Sitharaman
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Saturday that the priority of the government is to "make sure" that currency in circulation will be in "lower denominations" and spreading more awareness for "doing digital transfers." Answering a question on the future of Rs 500 currency, Sitharaman said, "We are making every effort to make sure that currency will be in the lower denominations, used much more than the higher, as the Rs 2000 is almost completely out of circulation, except for possibly 0.02, which is still lying outside. Others have given it to the banks." "We need to have more digital awareness built so that people see a benefit in doing digital transfers," the Union Finance Minister said at the 'National Commemorative Seminar on 60 Years of Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya Integral Humanism Lectures' in the national capital.
