Nokia Networks' Chennai factory has manufactured two
million components of telecom networks, a quarter of which have been used for
fourth generation (4G) technology, a company statement said. After nearly seven
years in operation, Nokia Networks' Chennai factory has reached a major
milestone. The facility has manufactured over two million components for
telecommunications networks, of which about a quarter have been used for 4G
technology, the statement said.
With a workforce of 1,200 highly skilled employees,
Nokia Networks' Chennai factory is the largest manufacturing facility in the
Indian telecommunications equipment manufacturing sector, and a strategic hub
for Nokia's global operations.
The company has invested around Rs.500 crore since 2008
in the 140,000 square-meter facility, which produces and distributes mobile
broadband products for advanced technologies such as long term evolution (LTE)
in domestic and global markets. It is a great testimony to India's potential in
electronic manufacturing, and the company is a key pioneer supporting the government's
'Make in India' vision, said Sandeep Girotra, vice president and head, India
Market at Nokia Networks.
Our Chennai facility is a world-class factory similar
to our other global factories and makes cost-efficient deliveries possible to
operators around the globe including India, the US, and Europe, said Karl
Kirschenhofer, vice president, manufacturing operations at Nokia Networks.
