With Chinese and Korean companies investing, Greater Noida is emerging as a data centre hub on the one hand and a stronghold of Korean electronics companies on the other.
One of the main reasons for these investments by Korean companies is the recent investment of Rs 7,429 crore and Rs 2,000 crore by Chinese majors Vivo and Oppo respectively in Greater Noida. The entry of Chinese electronics companies into Greater Noida to manufacture laptops, mobile phones and other gadgets has paved the way for Korean companies to establish their own plants in order to compete with their Chinese rivals.
As for the State Government, it is helping Korean companies at every step to facilitate establishment of their plants in Greater Noida.
The investment being made by these Korean and Chinese companies in Greater Noida will provide employment to thousands of people in the state while the Government will get huge revenue in the form of GST from the products being made in the factories of these companies.
