Global consumer electronics and home appliances brand <\/span>Hisense<\/strong><\/a> has officially inaugurated its <\/span>first manufacturing facility in India<\/strong>, marking a major milestone in the company\u2019s long-term strategy for the Indian market. The new plant has been established through a <\/span>joint venture with Epack Manufacturing Technologies Private Limited (EMTPL)<\/strong>, a wholly owned subsidiary of <\/span>Epack Durable Limited (EDL)<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Located within <\/span>EDL\u2019s industrial park at Sri City<\/strong>, the facility represents a strategic shift for Hisense\u2014from an import-driven business model to <\/span>localized manufacturing. This move closely aligns with the Government of India\u2019s <\/span>\u201cMake in India<\/strong><\/a>\u201d initiative, reinforcing the company\u2019s commitment to building a manufacturing-led presence in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Sri City manufacturing facility has been developed with an <\/span>investment exceeding USD 30 million<\/strong> and spans a <\/span>10-acre campus<\/strong> adjacent to EDL\u2019s existing Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) operations. The location offers strong logistical advantages, skilled workforce access, and proximity to export infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Commercial production at the facility is scheduled to begin in <\/span>February 2026<\/strong>, positioning Hisense to significantly strengthen its supply chain operations within India.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Once fully operational, the plant is designed to <\/span>manufacture 100% of Hisense India\u2019s Room Air Conditioner (RAC) requirements<\/strong>, reducing reliance on imports while improving cost efficiencies, lead times, and market responsiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hisense has adopted a <\/span>phased operational approach<\/strong> for the Sri City facility, allowing for scalable expansion across multiple appliance categories over the coming fiscal years.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The first phase focuses exclusively on <\/span>Room Air Conditioners<\/strong>, with an initial installed capacity of <\/span>0.75 million units per year<\/strong>. The facility will manufacture Hisense\u2019s global RAC portfolio, including:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n F-Series<\/span><\/p>\n Eco Series<\/span><\/p>\n Intelli Perla Series<\/span><\/p>\n Upcoming Intelli Pro Series<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This phase lays the foundation for localized production while ensuring consistency with Hisense\u2019s global quality standards.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In the second phase, scheduled for <\/span>Q2 FY27, the plant will expand to include <\/span>washing machine manufacturing<\/strong>, covering both <\/span>top-load and front-load models<\/strong>. This diversification will allow Hisense to deepen its footprint in India\u2019s large home appliance segment.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The final planned phase, expected in <\/span>Q3 FY27<\/strong>, will extend production capabilities to <\/span>LED televisions<\/strong>, enabling Hisense to locally manufacture one of its key product categories for the Indian and export markets.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Sri City facility currently employs <\/span>around 500 people<\/strong>, with Hisense projecting total employment to reach <\/span>nearly 1,500 professionals over the next 12 to 24 months<\/strong>. Recruitment efforts are already underway across multiple functions, including:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Supply chain and logistics<\/span><\/p>\n Finance and administration<\/span><\/p>\n Skilled technical and manufacturing roles<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond domestic manufacturing, the plant is also positioned to support <\/span>export-oriented production<\/strong>, leveraging Sri City\u2019s status as a major <\/span>integrated manufacturing Special Economic Zone (SEZ)<\/strong>. This strengthens India\u2019s role as a regional manufacturing and export hub for consumer durables.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Commenting on the inauguration, <\/span>Pankaj Rana, CEO, Hisense India<\/strong><\/a>, highlighted the strategic importance of the facility:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe new facility represents a pivotal step in Hisense\u2019s evolution in India. Sri City allows us to strengthen our local production capabilities while aligning closely with the Make in India mission. This plant enables us to deepen control over quality, cost, and supply chains, while creating a strong platform to scale operations and customize products for Indian consumers. It reinforces our intent to build a locally rooted, manufacturing-led organisation in India.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Congratulating Hisense India on the milestone, <\/span>Ajay Singhania, Managing Director & CEO, Epack Durable Limited<\/strong><\/a>, emphasized the collaborative strength of the partnership:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe at Epack Durable are proud to have partnered with Hisense India on its first manufacturing venture in India. This facility is a strong embodiment of the collaboration between Hisense\u2019s technology and Epack Durable\u2019s technical expertise in consumer durables. Adhering to global manufacturing standards, this facility will showcase India\u2019s production capabilities and strengthen the country\u2019s position as a preferred partner for global companies planning long-term expansion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With the inauguration of its first manufacturing facility in Sri City, <\/span>Hisense<\/a> has taken a decisive step toward localizing production<\/strong>, strengthening supply chains, and expanding its product ecosystem in India<\/strong>. The phased expansion model, combined with significant employment generation and export potential, positions the company for sustainable growth in one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing consumer durables markets.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As production ramps up over the next few years, the Sri City plant is expected to play a central role in <\/span>Hisense\u2019s India roadmap<\/strong>, supporting innovation, affordability, and long-term manufacturing excellence under the Make in India vision.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Technology News | Updates<\/a> | Latest Electric Vehicle News | Updates<\/a> | Electronics News<\/a> | Mobile News | Updates<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n \n Facebook<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | WhatsApp Channel<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Telegram<\/a> | Threads<\/a> | LinkedIn<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stay informed, Stay Connected!<\/p>\n The post Hisense Inaugurates First Manufacturing Facility in India, Strengthening Make in India Commitment<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Global consumer electronics and home appliances brand Hisense has officially inaugurated its first manufacturing facility in India, marking a major milestone in the company\u2019s long-term strategy for the Indian market.
