Corning Incorporated has announced the setting up of a new optical connectivity manufacturing facility in Pune. The new site will be co-located with the company’s existing optical fibre plant, which has been operational since 2012. This expansion strengthens Corning’s manufacturing footprint in India and is aimed at supporting the region’s fast-growing digital infrastructure needs.
The upcoming facility will manufacture optical connectivity products primarily for hyperscale and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data centres. Corning has been supplying optical connectivity solutions in the region for over a decade, and this latest investment underlines its focus on meeting rising demand driven by data centre expansion and the adoption of emerging technologies.
