Though there is tough competition between Chinese phone makers in India, Xiaomi has emerged as the top contender for years. It is currently on a 10-quarter streak for being the largest phone brand in the country. To continue the momentum, Xiaomi is furthering its commitment to the “Make in India” initiative by signing up new smart TV and smartphone manufacturing partners in the country.
Xiaomi Sets up Two New Smartphone Manufacturing Plants
Xiaomi currently has Foxconn and Flex as two primary manufacturing partners. And now, it has revealed that two new manufacturing partners, DBG and BYD, have been onboarded in the country.
- New Smart TV Plant = 100% Locally-Made Mi TVs
In addition, Xiaomi also has a plan in place to boost smart TV production in India. It currently has a local smart TV manufacturing plant in Tirupati with its partner, Dixon Technology. It was set up a couple of years ago. Now, the company has signed up a new manufacturing partner, Radiant Technology, and set up a plant in Telangana. Thus, the Chinese giant will no longer need to import smart TVs from its home country. It is now capable of manufacturing 100% of the units in India.
