Sanmina, Reliance Complete Joint Venture Deal To Manufacture Electronics

Reliance Strategic Business Ventures, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and US-based Sanmina Corporation, on Tuesday said they have completed the previously announced joint venture transaction to manufacture electronic hardware in India under ‘Make In India’ initiative.

The joint venture will create a world-class electronic manufacturing hub in India, in line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister's “Make in India” vision. The joint venture will prioritise high technology infrastructure hardware, for growth markets, and across industries such as communications networking (5G, cloud infrastructure, hyperscale datacenters), medical and healthcare systems, industrial and cleantech, and defense and aerospace.
 
In addition to supporting Sanmina’s current customer base, the joint venture will create a state-of-the-art ‘Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence’ that will serve as an incubation center to support the product development and hardware start-up ecosystem in India, as well as promote research and innovation of leading-edge technologies.

All the manufacturing will take place at Sanmina’s 100-acre campus in Chennai, with the ability for site expansion to support future growth opportunities as well as to potentially expand to new manufacturing sites in India over time based on business needs.
