Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw, along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, inaugurated Jabil Inc.'s high-tech Advanced Manufacturing Facility at Ranjangaon, Pune on June 17, 2026. The facility represents a state-of-the-art advanced electronics manufacturing setup specializing in cutting-edge technology infrastructure, including complex manufacturing of AI Systems (AI-enabled Data Centre gears), 5G technology, high-end networking gears, industrial power system electronics, and consumer electronics.
Minister Vaishnaw emphasized that AI data centres have become a major growth engine globally and are a crucial priority under the Prime Minister's Make in India plan to ensure domestic manufacturing of major electronic components powering these data centres. Jabil will manufacture these crucial data centre components in Pune through their modern facility, which is fully equipped to meet India's domestic tech requirements while simultaneously driving exports to global markets.
The project is projected to scale localized employment up to 11,000 personnel and will drive a deep localization program integrating domestic supply chains and MSMEs directly into the global technology ecosystem. The minister highlighted the transformation of India's electronics manufacturing sector, which has surged to an unprecedented value of ₹13 lakh crore and officially became the country's third-largest export category in 2025 after consecutively climbing from 9th to 7th, 5th, and 4th positions in previous years.
The government now aims to elevate electronics to the nation's second-largest export category through collaborative efforts between central government, state government, industry stakeholders, investors, and youth focused on process quality. The minister assured full government investment towards talent development, training, skill creation, and specialized ecosystems for manufacturing high-precision mechanical parts, advising exploration of partnerships with high-precision mechanical equipment innovators like Lyten to heavily localize supply chains.
