小米公司將在印度建第二座手機工廠

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi announced plan for its second, but very first exclusive manufacturing unit in India last Monday.

國內科技巨頭小米上週一宣佈，計劃與富士康合作在印度修建第二家、同時也是第一家小米專用製造工廠。

The new plant, in partnership with Foxconn, is set in Sri City of the eastern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

新工廠位於印度東部安德拉邦的斯里市。

"We will have a combined production capacity of one phone per second during operational hours", said Manu Jain, managing director of Xiaomi India, at a press conference in New Delhi.

小米印度公司總經理馬努·傑恩在新德里舉行的發佈會上表示：“工廠運作期間，我們的合計產能將達到每秒製造一部手機。”

Soon after its debut in India in July 2014, Xiaomi started building its first local manufacturing unit, which went live in August 2015.

小米在2014年7月進入印度市場，之後很快開始在印建設首家制造工廠，這家工廠於2015年8月投產。

By March 2016, over 75% of its phones sold in India were made locally. The number will rise to more than 95% with the new plant, according to the company.

截至2016年3月，小米在印銷售的手機中逾75%爲印度本地製造。小米稱，新工廠將使這一比例上升至95%以上。

The Redmi 4A was also launched at the conference. The dual-SIM 4G-LTE device featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor, 13MP rear camera and 3120mAh high capacity battery, is priced at Rs. 5999 (about USD 91.77).

此外，紅米4A也在該發佈會上正式發佈。這款雙卡4G-LTE設備搭載高通驍龍425處理器，後置1300萬像素攝像頭，內置3120mAh高容量電池，定價爲5999印度盧比（摺合91.77美元）。

Xiaomi had grabbed 10.7 percent share of Indian smartphone market by end of last December quarter, just behind Samsung, which took over 25 percent, according to a survey.

一項調查顯示，在2016年第四季度，小米已經佔據了印度智能手機市場10.7%的份額，僅僅落後於佔25%份額的三星。
