Amazon partners Foxconn subsidiary for Fire TV Stick production in India

Amazon is setting up its first device manufacturing line in India to make Fire TV sticks locally and has partnered with Cloud Network Technology, a subsidiary of Foxconn, to begin producing the device at its Chennai plant later this year.

The e-commerce giant claimed that the production line will have an annual capacity of “hundreds of thousands” of units, and will also continuously evaluate manufacturing capacity based on domestic demand for its devices.

“We are delighted to announce Amazon’s first manufacturing line in India to produce hundreds of thousands of Fire TV Stick devices every year, catering to the demands of Indian customers,” said Amit Agarwal, global senior vice president and country leader at Amazon India. “This further reiterates our commitment to the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.”
