Xiaomi expands smartphone, TV capacity in India

TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Leading consumer electronics firm Xiaomi has enlisted three original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to boost its supply of smartphones and smart televisions (TVs) in India.

The Chinese major will now have three additional plants to feed local demand that has grown rapidly after the lockdown in mid-2020.

Xiaomi, that leads in both the smartphone and smart TV markets in India, has partnered two Chinese OEMs — BYD Electronic Company and DBG Technology — for smartphone manufacturing here.

Shenzhen-headquartered BYD has been a supplier to Nokia and Motorola for years, and is currently setting up a plant for Xiaomi in Chennai.
