Lava International Limited, India's leading mobile manufacturing brand, today inaugurated its new Component and Charger Manufacturing Unit at its Noida plant, marking a decisive step towards localization and quality monitoring. The facility was inaugurated by Shri Sunil Kumar Sharma, Honourable Minister of Electronics & Information Technology, Government of Uttar Pradesh, in the presence of Mr. Sunil Raina, Managing Director and Mr. Sanjeev Agarwal, Executive Director & Chief Manufacturing Officer, Lava International Limited.

Aligned with the Government’s vision of Make in India, the facility coupled with application of six sigma principles is Lava’s latest move to elevate Indian manufacturing standards aimed at improving quality, efficiency and value.

Speaking at the inauguration, Shri Sunil Kumar Sharma, Honourable Minister of Electronics & Information Technology, Government of Uttar Pradesh, said, "UP government under the leadership of Shri Yogi Adityanath envisions Noida to be the mobile manufacturing hub of India. The developmental goals are aimed at building a state that fosters progress, employment opportunities and strict law and order. I congratulate Lava leadership and the workers on this milestone and assure people of industrial growth and prosperity in the region.”

Mr. Sunil Raina, Managing Director, Lava International Limited, said, "Lava Mobiles in its 17 years journey has always prioritised building a homegrown technology brand rooted in India for global audience. We have valued product quality, manufacturing capabilities, design autonomy and most importantly a clean, clear product experience for the users. The new manufacturing unit is in line with Lava's vision to pivot innovation from India for the world. We have been pioneers of the Make-in-India initiative and with government's support we aim to bolster our manufacturing and RND capabilities by 2030. I am grateful to Shri Sunil Kumar Sharmaji for his unwavering support in this endeavour and for enabling the state of Uttar Pradesh to be at the forefront of India's technological revolution.”

Mr. Sanjeev Agarwal, Executive Director & Chief Manufacturing Officer, Lava International Limited, said, "India's electronics story is incomplete if analysed only through export numbers and production volumes. It must cater to the needs and demands of the Indian users, create job opportunities and prospects for engineers to innovate and develop products for their country people.

 At Lava manufacturing, we have focussed on building our capability since 2015. The new component manufacturing is aimed at expanding production capabilities and support the local manufacturing base for mobile business. I am deeply thankful to Shri Sunil Kumar Sharmaji for playing an integral role in making Uttar Pradesh a sunrise sector in technology business. With strong infrastructural support, government incentives, and initiatives like ESDM by the state government, UP is set to witness the next phase of growth in manufacturing.”

Lava plant currently employs 3000+ workers with a production capacity of 20 million units and is now expanding into component manufacturing with an annual capacity of 9 million units. Through in-house training modules, structured NAPS apprenticeships, and a B.Voc programme — with university fees fully absorbed by Lava — employees are equipped not just with technical skills but with a defined pathway from the shop floor into engineering and supervisory roles.

This milestone marks a defining step in Lava's journey— accelerating domestic value addition, reducing dependance on global component ecosystem and in creating employment opportunities. Lava is a global leader in feature phone business; it is actively growing its smartphone market share and has also expanded into TWS manufacturing.
