While  the new products were certainly exciting, what piqued our interest at SMEStreet was the announcement by company's director Mr Rohan Agarwal that the company will soon launch (mostly) made in India ACs. Micromax has multiple manufacturing units in the country but these ACs will be made at their Bhiwadi plant in Rajasthan as the Bhiwadi cluster is most-self-sufficient in enabling manufacture of ACS. He announced that only few components will now be sourced internationally and rest of the AC in entiriety will be a Make-In-India effort which is good news for Bhiwadi's MSMEs.

Commenting on the launch, Mr Agarwal said, “Micromax, since its inception, has always stood for democratising technology at affordable price points. It has been our constant endeavour to understand the evolving needs of our consumers and offer the best of technology to cater to those needs. Taking that a step further, today we have announced a range of two new products in the consumer durables segment, with an aim to redefine the entertainment experience and everyday solutions for the Indian consumer. The Google Certified Android TV is meant for those who want a larger than life entertainment experience by being packed with multiple compelling features and the fully automatic washing machine aims to make everyday solutions simpler and hassle-free. We look forward to the response from our consumers and are committed to grow this category further by consolidating our leadership position in the segment in India.”
