Huawei cuts India revenue target, lays off up to 70% Staff: Report

As an answer to the call of India boycotting Chinese goods, Huawei Technologies Co has cut its India revenue target for 2020 by up to 50% and is laying off more than half of its staff in the country as reported.

 

Huawei's India unit said the report suggesting layoffs of more than half of Huawei staff in the country was untrue, but did not elaborate.

 

The report said the company was cutting 60-70% of its Indian staff, excluding those in research and development and the global service centre.

 

Huawei's India unit said it continues "to work closely" with all customers in the country. "Our India operations and resources, backed by robust local talent are designed to meet any customer requirements."

 

The report comes amid a rise in anti-China sentiment in India following the killing of 20 Indian soldiers by Chinese forces in Ladakh last month.

 

India has also told two state-run telecoms firms to use locally-made rather than Chinese telecom equipment to upgrade their mobile networks to 4G.
