Xiaomi to set up 3 plants to boost local production Xiaomi India Head and Global Vice President Manu Jain. (Mint) Share Via Read Full Story Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi will open two new mobile manufacturing plants and a television plant in India. In an interview, Manu Jain, Xiaomi’s India head and global vice president, said 99% of its smartphones and 100% of its televisions sold in India will now be manufactured in the country. “We would love to see India as an export hub. We started exporting in small quantities last year to nearby countries such as Bangladesh and Nepal. Right now, the No. 1 priority for the Indian business is to meet local demand, which we believe is significantly more than what we are supplying. Once we meet 100% of the local demand, we will start thinking of further increasing our exports," he said.
