New Delhi: Following the launch of Mi Max, the latest handset from Xiaomi for the Indian market, the third-largest smart phone maker has decided to get in touch with some of the Indian state governments to set up handset manufacturing hubs in the nation.


During the launch of Mi Max at an event in New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Thursday Xiaomi Indian head Manju Jain said that the company will start a production plant in collaboration with contract manufacturer Foxconn.
“We are looking to expand capacity and set up more lines and plants. We are proactively looking at it and are working with our partner Foxconn. Currently, discussions are on with different governments,” Jain said. Reports are that the first batch of orders for Mi Max will be imported from china. Xiaomi will start its domestic production of the device around mid-July.


On Thursday, Xiaomi has unveiled price, specifications and other details of Mi Max, manufactured especially for the market of Indian subcontinent. The smart phone was launched in a similar manner with that of china’s where a host of ‘Mi fans’ were invited for the first look.

However, sources said, the phone launch program has experience an untimely situation when few of the fans inside the stadium started sloganeering ‘Xiaomi hai hai’.
