On Wednesday, 17 June 2026, Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw and Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated Jabil Inc.'s state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Ranjangaon, Pune.

The state-of-the-art facility at Jabil will manufacture parts for AI-driven data center hardware, 5G infrastructure, next-generation networking equipment, industrial power electronics, and consumer devices, thereby supporting India’s emergence as a key player in the global technology arena.

The recently opened advanced facility has a large-scale manufacturing capacity, enabling it to satisfy domestic needs while also supplying international export markets.

Addressing the audience, Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, emphasized that artificial intelligence has become a driving force for global advancement, underscoring the strategic importance of establishing its infrastructure within the nation.

Prime Minister’s Make in India plan aims to ensure that the major electronic components powering these data centers are manufactured domestically.

Jabil will manufacture these key data centre components in Pune at its modern, advanced, high-tech facility. With remarkable operational capacity, the plant is fully prepared to serve India’s domestic technology needs while also supporting exports to markets around the globe.

National Electronic System highlights

Reflecting on recent achievements, the Union Minister noted:

  • Sector Value: India’s electronics manufacturing sector has expanded to a record value of ₹13 lakh crore.

  • Export Evolution: Initially aiming merely to enter the top ten export categories, electronics steadily advanced from 9th place to 7th, then 5th, and subsequently 4th.

  • Top Export Category Status: In the past year (2025), electronics emerged as the country’s third-largest export category.

  • The Next Target: The Central Government, State Governments, industry players, investors, and the youth must now jointly develop a process-quality–driven strategy to elevate electronics to the position of India’s second-largest export category.

The minister committed to providing comprehensive government backing for investments in talent development, training, skills upgrading, and the establishment of specialised ecosystems for manufacturing high-precision mechanical components. He also urged partnerships with innovators in high-precision mechanical equipment, such as Lyten, to substantially increase the localisation of domestic supply chains.
