Ericsson Antenna System (EAS) is expanding its local manufacturing footprint in India. By June 2025, Ericsson will localise 100 per cent of EAS passive antenna production for the Indian market. This strategic investment enables faster time-to-market, deeper collaboration with local partners, and greater adaptability to customer needs, all while supporting the broader vision of India’s digital transformation. This initiative supports India’s rapid 5G rollout and bolsters Ericsson’s ability to respond with greater agility to evolving market needs, both regionally and globally.
In India, EAS is launching local passive antenna production in collaboration with VVDN Technologies, a trusted technology partner. This initiative adds India to Ericsson’s global manufacturing footprint—which already includes facilities in Mexico, Romania, and China.
Beyond meeting domestic needs, a significant portion of antennas manufactured in India will be exported, establishing the country as a strategic hub within Ericsson’s global supply chain. By bringing product development closer to regional customer realities, Ericsson is accelerating time-to-market and enabling deeper local technology collaboration.
The expansion of EAS production in India is fully managed by Ericsson teams and supported by a strategic supplier network, ensuring adherence to global quality standards while maintaining the responsiveness needed in today’s fast-moving environment.
Commenting on the announcement, Mikael Eriksson, head, EAS, said, “At Ericsson, antennas are critical, serving as the entry point to enhanced network performance and innovation. Expanding in India strengthens our ability to deliver cutting-edge technology at speed, closer to where our customers are building next-generation networks.”
Meanwhile, Nitin Bansal, managing director, Ericsson India, said, “This expansion reflects our commitment and long-term investment in India’s industrial and digital future. By localising production and building out a robust ecosystem, Ericsson is ensuring faster deployment, increased responsiveness, and stronger protection for its customers against environmental or external disruptions.”
