Inauguration of CISCO’s Manufacturing Facility at Sriperumbudur
The CISCO facility will be instrumental in producing advanced telecom and networking equipment, which is essential for 5G and future technologies and in reducing import dependence. Flex India collaborated for building this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for Cisco, as it is one of the beneficiaries under PLI scheme of DoT.
During the occasion, the Minister called CISCO’s project “as a union between Bharat’s prowess in engineering capabilities and USA’s tremendous innovative capabilities.” He further said that the manufacturing facility represents India’s cultural, spiritual and economic awakening on the world stage and exhorted CISCO to be a partner in India’s telecom manufacturing zone.
