Hisense , a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances, today inaugurated its first manufacturing facility in India through a joint venture with Epack Manufacturing Technologies Private Limited (EMTPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Epack Durable Limited (EDL), at Sri City, Andhra Pradesh. This landmark development marks a significant milestone in Hisense’s India growth journey and underscores the company’s long-term commitment to the Government of India’s Make in India initiative. Located within EDL’s industrial park at Sri City, the newly built and commissioned Hisense (EMTPL) manufacturing facility spans a 10-acre campus and is situated alongside EDL’s existing ODM manufacturing plant. Developed with an investment exceeding USD 30 million, the state-of-the-art facility represents a major step in Hisense’s localisation strategy for India and will commence commercial production from February 2026 onwards. Once fully operational, the plant will exclusively manufacture Room Air Conditioners for Hisense India, accounting for 100% of the brand’s RAC output in the country and significantly enhancing Hisense’s local manufacturing and supply chain capabilities.   Leaders at the inauguration (L to R): Mr. Pankaj Rana; Dr. Ravindra Reddy; Mr. Ismail Al Hurani; Mr. Bajrang Bothra; and Mr. Hanson Wu With pilot production already underway, the Sri City facility is being developed in a phased manner.

Sri City allows us to strengthen our local production capabilities while aligning closely with the Make in India mission.
