Nokia to flourish Chennai facility
Nokia Siemens Networks would expand its manufacturing facility in Oragadam near Chennai from 35,000 to 55,000 square metres and increase the number of product lines by five to 33. The expansion would increase the manufacturing capacity, allowing the company to export approximately 37% of the facility's production across the Asia Pacific.
Since its inception in 2008, the company has invested over $75 million in the Chennai plant that has rolled out more than 860,000 units. The expansion will enable the company to manufacture and distribute new multi-radio and LTE products, among other equipment such as GSM and LTEready 3G base stations and its FlexiPacket radio.
"This expansion will strengthen India's position as one of our major manufacturing hubs in the Asia Pacific," said Ashish Chowdhary, Head of India and Customer Operations East, Nokia Siemens Network.
