boAt ramps up local manufacturing to 76%—here's why it matters
boAt has nearly doubled its local production, hitting 76% in Q1 FY26 compared to just under 40% in FY23.
That means over 75 million boAt gadgets—like earbuds and wearables—are now made in India, thanks to the company sourcing key parts like PCBs and batteries locally.
Why this shift is a big deal
By making more products at home, boAt keeps costs down and avoids supply chain hiccups.
They're investing in automation and better design processes too, so expect faster updates and improved quality on your favorite devices.
The Califonix partnership: powering up production
A big chunk of this growth comes from boAt's joint venture with Dixon Technologies, called Califonix Tech.
In just one quarter, Califonix made about 3.2 million units (almost 38% of boAt's output), helping ensure steady supply and solid quality control.
What's next for you?
boAt is working to cut import duties by up to 20%, which could mean quicker launches for new audio gear and wearables.
Plus, all this local manufacturing is expected to support jobs and boost India's tech scene—a likely win-win if you love homegrown brands.
