New Delhi: Chinese handset major Xiaomi said on Tuesday that it has tied up with Hipad Technology to start its third manufacturing unit in India which will manufacture power banks.
The plant, situated in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, will be the first facility for power banks in India.
Currently, Xiaomi has two smartphone manufacturing plants in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh and more than 95 per cent of its smartphones sold in India are assembled locally.
Hipad Technology’s manufacturing unit is a dedicated power bank facility for Xiaomi and is spread across 2.3 lakh square feet. The starting production capacity for the facility is nearly 7 power banks per minute during its operational hours.
Xiaomi entered India in July 2014 and quickly announced plans to establish its first manufacturing plant for its smartphones.
