Dish TV Starts Making Set Top Boxes In India

Mumbai: Do you know that set-top boxes (STB), the ones you get with your TV connections, are imported? Now, Dish TV India has announced that it has started producing those here under the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.

It has planned to move 50 per cent of its production to India by first quarter of 2021.

“We are thrilled to join the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and localise the manufacturing of set-top boxes and other key accessories in India only. This announcement reiterates our pioneering position within the DTH industry as we aim to further expand our business operations and develop products that match the intrinsic needs of our customers,” said Jawahar Goel, chairman and managing director at Dish TV India in a statement.

Dish TV India will also start manufacturing major components of the STB as well as its accessories here. Power adaptors and cabinets are now being sourced from Indian manufacturers. It is in discussion with remote control makers to bring the production to India.
