Taiwan-based electronics manufacturing company Foxconn Technology Group is planning to manufacture Xiaomi phones in Sri City in Andhra Pradesh. The company is presently undertaking the setting up of the Sri City unit, which will manufacture about 10,000 phones per day. In the long run, the company plans to become key manufacturing base for Xiaomi in India, comparable with China.
Foxconn is also planning to manufacture tablets, televisions, routers, set-top boxes and printers among other products in India. The company is currently evaluating several states, including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh, for establishing the factories and the first round of meetings have been held. Foxconn initially had three manufacturing units in India, all of which were shut down by February 2015.
