Logitech Begins Manufacturing In India, Plans To Expand Local Production And Exports

Manesar, October 15, 2026: Technology giant Logitech has initiated manufacturing operations in India, taking a major stride in expanding its footprint in the country. The firm has set up a production base in Manesar, complementing its existing research and development (R&D), software, and hardware development units in Chennai. This move aligns with India's 'Make in India' program and showcases Logitech's strategy to bolster its manufacturing footprint in the nation.

The company aims to progressively widen local production across its product range, particularly personal workspace solutions, while also examining export prospects. Gradual Expansion Planned Logitech's Chief Supply Chain Operations Officer, Sree Chenincherry, revealed that the Manesar facility would initially serve as an assembly line under management by a manufacturing partner.

Upon stabilizing operations, the company intends to increase the utilization of locally sourced components and parts. The expansion will unfold in phases, with a primary focus on local sourcing, followed by exports. The company intends to leverage its manufacturing partners to incrementally elevate production at the facility. This phased strategy could aid Logitech in building a more robust supply chain in India while diminishing its reliance on foreign production.

Start With Key Products Logitech will commence local production with some of its most popular products, such as keyboards for various devices and webcams. Eventually, the company intends to broaden its manufacturing operations to encompass its comprehensive product line. However, customers should not anticipate immediate price cuts.

Logitech has suggested that it does not foresee any substantial adjustments in product prices for Indian consumers following the commencement of local manufacturing. India A Crucial Market for Logitech "India holds a strategically significant market for Logitech. Establishing our first local Indian manufacturing base brings us one step closer to our Indian customers," stated Chenincherry, as reported by Hindustan Times.

The company highlights that local assembly and production will bolster operational agility, shorten turnaround times, build a resilient supply chain, and enable faster responsiveness to the rapidly changing requirements of businesses and individual users in India. Logitech's existing R&D center in Chennai and manufacturing operations now underway in Manesar position India as an increasingly vital component of Logitech's global operations.

Maintaining Quality Standards Unchanged Delphine Donné, Logitech's Vice-President and General Manager of Personal Work Solutions, assured that the company will uphold the same quality benchmarks across its products, irrespective of the manufacturing location or target market. She emphasized that the new facility in India has been constructed to conform to Logitech's prevailing global standards, guaranteeing that locally manufactured products retain the same caliber as those produced elsewhere.

Donné noted that India serves a dual purpose for Logitech globally, acting as a rapidly growing market for personal work solutions and supporting the development of design-led, software, and AI-enabled hardware via its Global Capability Center in Chennai. The initiation of local production underscores Logitech's dedication to the Indian market and its customers.

Manufacturing Partner Remains Concealed Logitech has not disclosed the identity of its manufacturing partner in India, citing contractual constraints. Nevertheless, the company confirmed that the partnership is a new one. The commencement of manufacturing in Manesar provides Logitech with a domestic production base alongside its ongoing technology development operations in Chennai.

The company's plans to procure components locally and subsequently initiate exports could further consolidate India's role in the company's global manufacturing ecosystem.
