According to ET, in a regulatory filing to the Registrar of Companies, Oppo said that around Rs 2,082 crore is now blocked in its bank accounts and that its auditors have warned that it calls into question the future of the company.
OnePlus and Realme are already looking for Indian contract manufacturers. For the time being, Oppo Mobiles will continue to make smartphones for all three companies. The report states that OnePlus Technology India has started signing billing, sales and distribution agreements with major retail chains and their distributors in India and Realme Mobile Telecom will soon start doing the same.
