Xiaomi to host Supplier Investment Summit in India

Xiaomi has announced that it will be organising a Supplier Investment Summit in India from April 9th-11th, 2018. The summit will host 50+ Xiaomi component suppliers from around the world who will visit different states learning about opportunities in India.

India is the most important market for Xiaomi outside Mainland China and a major manufacturing hub today, hence, the suppliers will be visiting different states to evaluate opportunities for setting up local base in the country. This promises to bring in additional foreign investment in India, and also to create job opportunities. 

The agenda of this summit is to help them understand about opportunities in the Indian market, incentives offered by Centre and State government, FDI policy, industrial policy and various state sector-specific policies.

Currently, Xiaomi has three manufacturing facilities in India. The two facilities in partnership with Foxconn are in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh and are dedicated to manufacturing smartphones.

The company has mentioned that more than 95 per cent of Xiaomi’s smartphones sold in India are manufactured locally and the production capacity is one-smartphone/second during operational hours. Additionally, the recently opened unit in Noida, Uttar Pradesh in partnership with Hipad Technologies manufactures power banks for Xiaomi India.
