CHENNAI -- Jabil Circuit reportedly will relocate its Nokia assembly programs currently in Chennai to China.

According to the report, Jabil will end its operations in the Sriperumbadur corridor by March 31. The fate of the site's 600-some workers is not clear. Jabil has not commented on the reports, and government officials have not received any preliminary paperwork from Jabil notifying the state of pending closures.

Jabil reportedly invested over $100 million in the facility.
