Logitech Launches Local Manufacturing in India to Boost Agility and Sustainability
By Drooid · · How we work
Launch of Indian Production Facility
On October 15, 2026, Logitech opened its first local manufacturing plant in Manesar, Haryana. The facility begins assembly of webcams and pointing devices (mice, keyboards) with a domestic electronics partner under Logitech’s supervision.
Strategic Rationale and Market Context
Logitech’s executives say the move responds to rising demand in India’s personal-workspace market and diversifies away from a China-centric supply chain. The company cites three objectives:
- Operational agility – shorter lead times.
- Supply-chain resilience – reduced reliance on overseas factories.
- Alignment with India’s “Make in India” agenda.
The Manesar plant complements Logitech’s R&D hub in Chennai, which handles hardware engineering, AI-enabled firmware, and software development for global products.
Scale and Scope of Operations
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Initial product focus | Webcams and pointing devices (mice, keyboards) |
| Planned expansion | Gradual addition of more product lines and increased local component sourcing |
| Market share in India | Over 40 % of the mid-to-high-end peripheral segment and 75 % of the webcam segment |
| Sustainability | More than 80 % of Logitech’s portfolio uses post-consumer recycled plastic; low-carbon aluminum and recyclable packaging are also employed |
| Digital landscape | India had nearly 970 million internet subscriptions and close to 16 million PC sales in 2025 |
Official Statements & Responses
Sree Chenincherry, chief supply-chain operations officer, said the assembly line is the first phase of a “phased approach” that will later incorporate local component sourcing and eventually exports from India. Executives noted the initiative is not expected to trigger immediate price reductions for Indian consumers.

Future Expansion Plans
Logitech’s roadmap calls for stabilising current assembly operations before expanding local component sourcing and building additional capabilities. Once localisation matures, the company intends to explore using India as an export hub. No specific timeline has been disclosed.
