In a virtual briefing on Thursday, Chinese conglomerate Xiaomi announced that it is expanding manufacturing for smartphones and smart TVs in India. The company named China's BYD and DBG Technology as its new manufacturing partners for smartphones in India. It said that Hyderabad-based Radiant Technology is its newest production partner for smart TVs. Xiaomi said it is ramping up local component sourcing as well.

BYD will set up a plant in Tamil Nadu. It will begin manufacturing smartphones in the first half of 2021. Meanwhile, DBG already has a fully-functional smartphone plant in Bawal, Haryana.

BYD focuses on automobiles, electronics, and rail transit, while DBG supplied telecom equipment to Huawei in the past.
