Amazon will begin operating its first manufacturing line in India later this year by producing Amazon Devices, including Fire TV sticks, in partnership with Foxconn's subsidiary, Cloud Network Technology.
Located in Chennai, the factory is part of Amazon's commitment to the Indian Government's "Make in India" drive.
The program will manufacture hundreds of thousands of Fire TV Stick devices every year, catering to the demands of Indian customers.
Amazon did not share details of the capacity or investment for the project but vowed it will continuously evaluate scaling capacity to additional marketplaces depending on the demand.
India's Minister for Communications, Electronics, and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad also asked Amazon India to help in taking products made by Indian artisans and Ayurvedic products to global markets through its platform.
Prasad also urged Amazon to digitally develop a few villages in India and to work with small local shops to make them stakeholders.
Amazon had invested billions of dollars in India across e-commerce, payments, and logistics. It had committed a $1 billion investment to digitize 10 million small and medium businesses, enabling $10 billion in cumulative exports, while creating one million jobs by 2025.
