NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries has asked its Chinese and Taiwanese original device manufacturers (ODMs) partners, including Foxconn, to make its Lyf branded 4G smartphones, smart set-top boxes, home automation and automobile telematics devices among others in India.
“It is a contract clause for these partners to locally make/assemble their devices over a period of time. They [Reliance] have told everyone to do it,” a person familiar with the matter told ET.
Foxconn, the world’s largest contract manufacturer, will start production of VoLTE handsets for Reliance Retail’s Lyf brand of 4G smartphones in India and rest of the devices by other vendors will follow suit.
“Foxconn has its own set of handsets that they will make for Reliance’s Lyf. Local sourcing will bring down costs of these devices,” the source added. However, he didn’t offer any specific time period for the production. Affordable devices ARE critical for wider adoption of 4G mobile services offered by the group’s telecom company Reliance Jio Infocomm.
