Ericsson has announced plans to localize production of all its passive antennas for the Indian market by June 2025. The initiative, in partnership with VVDN Technologies, aims to strengthen Ericsson’s ability to serve local telecom operators, support ongoing 5G rollouts, and diversify its global manufacturing footprint.
By shifting production to India, Ericsson will be able to respond more quickly to changing market demands while enhancing the resilience of its supply chain. Mikael Eriksson, Head of Ericsson Antenna System, noted that expanding manufacturing in India allows the company to deliver cutting-edge technology faster and closer to where next-generation networks are being built.
Nitin Bansal, MD of Ericsson India, highlighted that localized manufacturing will ensure quicker deployments, improved responsiveness, and better protection for customers against external disruptions.
In addition to serving the domestic market, a significant portion of the antennas produced in India will be exported, further positioning the country as a key strategic hub within Ericsson’s global supply chain. The company currently operates other manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Romania, China, and the US, and has been active in India since 1994.
