Lava Opens Component and Charger Manufacturing Unit in Noida

This deeper integration is designed to improve reliability and resilience in the company’s production process.

Supporting the “Make in India” Strategy

The initiative aligns closely with the Indian government’s Make in India vision, which encourages companies to manufacture more of the value chain domestically rather than importing finished components.

Lava has stated that the new manufacturing capability will help increase domestic value addition by allowing the company to produce more parts in‑house or source them locally instead of relying on imported sub‑assemblies.

Increasing local value addition is a major objective for India’s electronics industry because it helps:

• Build a stronger domestic supplier ecosystem
• Retain more manufacturing value within the country
• Reduce exposure to international supply disruptions

Part of a ₹1,100 Crore Investment Plan

The Noida facility is only one element of a broader expansion strategy. Lava plans to invest around ₹1,100 crore over the next five years to strengthen India’s electronics components manufacturing ecosystem.

According to company executives, this investment will support the development of manufacturing capabilities for multiple electronics components, including:

• Camera modules
• Display modules
• Device enclosures
• Multi‑layer printed circuit boards (PCBs)

Expanding into these areas would allow Lava to integrate more stages of the smartphone production process within India.

Strengthening India’s Mobile Manufacturing Ecosystem

Industry analysts and policymakers have long argued that India’s electronics sector must move beyond final assembly and develop a deeper component manufacturing base. Lava’s new facility contributes to that goal by expanding the domestic supply chain for smartphone parts.

If more companies adopt similar strategies, India could strengthen its position as a global manufacturing hub by increasing local value addition and reducing dependence on imported electronics components.

In that sense, Lava’s Noida unit is not just a company expansion—it also reflects the broader evolution of India’s electronics industry toward higher‑value manufacturing within the country.
