Ericsson announced on October 7 that it would expand antenna and telecom-equipment production in India and export India-made antennas to Europe and other international markets. The announcement was made during the India Mobile Congress 2026 in New Delhi.
The company said more than 15,000 antennas and 25 million components have been produced in India since July 2025. These are company-supplied figures reported by the Indian Express and Financial Express; they are not presented here as the result of an independent production audit.
Ericsson described the Indian operation as combining local sourcing and manufacturing with its global engineering capabilities. It said the antenna portfolio supports 5G standalone and AI-ready networks, which describes the equipment’s intended network role rather than a newly deployed artificial-intelligence service.
Financial Express reported that export equipment must be configured for the spectrum and technical requirements of each destination market. The October 7 announcement did not provide a country-by-country shipment timetable or export-volume target, so those outcomes remain to be measured.
