Ericsson’s state-of-the-art antenna manufacturing facility comes up at VVDN’s Global Innovation Park in Manesar, known as New Gurgaon city in the Gurugram district of Haryana.
It was inaugurated by Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Union Minister of Communications and Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DONER) on Monday.
The inauguration ceremony was marked by the Minister activating the launch of the facility, followed by a live, two-minute walkthrough of the cutting-edge antenna production line, witnessed by a live audience and dignitaries.
Describing the event as a pivotal moment in India’s digital and manufacturing journey, Minister Scindia stated, “This is more than the launch of a manufacturing unit—it marks the birth of a facility that will power the networks of tomorrow and connect millions across the globe. It demonstrates global confidence in India’s capabilities and India’s growing confidence in its future.”
Highlighting the broader vision of the Government of India, the Minister added, “This is where global technology converges with Indian ingenuity. Under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership, the ‘Make in India’ mission is evolving into a ‘Make for the World’ movement.”
Highlighting Ericsson’s contribution, Shri Scindia said the company’s initiatives—including network APIs, automation, and its Global AI Accelerator in Bengaluru—have significantly advanced India’s role in the global value chain. “As India transitions from its Amrit Kaal to its Shatabdi Kaal over the next two decades,” he stated, “this journey will not only transform India, but through India, help transform the world.”
The facility, developed in collaboration between Ericsson and VVDN Technologies, is Ericsson’s first to produce passive antennas in India for global markets. Shipments are expected to commence in July 2025.
This facility is one of its kind, where more than 50% of the passive antenna production, built to meet rigorous domestic and international standards, for the domestic market will be localized, reinforcing India’s emergence as a trusted global manufacturing and innovation hub.
Ericsson’s Head of Antenna Systems, Mikael Eriksson, remarked: “This facility is a long-term investment in Indian talent, engineering, and innovation. We are committed to building a full-spectrum antenna ecosystem here( New Delhi .”
