Lava Technologies inaugurated its new Component and Charger Manufacturing Unit at its Noida facility on May 21, 2023, marking a significant step in enhancing local manufacturing capabilities. The facility, which will produce approximately nine million components annually, aligns with the government’s Make in India initiative and aims to reduce the company's reliance on imports. Lava's Chief Manufacturing Officer, Sanjeev Agarwal, indicated that this charger manufacturing unit is just the beginning of a larger localization strategy, with plans to invest around ₹1,100 crore (roughly $132 million USD) over the next five years to expand domestic operations. This investment is expected to create nearly 8,500 additional jobs in the region.

The company has already seen financial benefits from local manufacturing, reducing charger production costs by nearly 20%, which supports competitive pricing for consumers. Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh government has committed to matching the Central Government's financial support for electronics projects, further incentivizing local manufacturing. This initiative is part of a broader vision for Uttar Pradesh to establish itself as a hub for technology and electronics manufacturing, including plans for an AI City in Lucknow and a Drone City in Kanpur.
