India Opens First Mobile Tempered Glass Factory

India launches its first tempered glass factory for mobile devices in Noida, advancing self-reliance in #electronicsmanufacturing and job creation.


India has taken a major stride toward electronics self-sufficiency with the inauguration of its first-ever #TemperedGlassManufacturing Facility for mobile devices. The factory, located in Noida, was officially opened on August 30, 2025, by Union Minister of Electronics and IT Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Established by Optiemus Electronics in partnership with Corning Incorporated, USA, the facility will manufacture tempered glass under the premium brand “Engineered by Corning”. These products will serve both Indian and global markets, marking a pivotal expansion of India’s domestic electronics production capabilities.


Pushing the Make in India Vision Forward

Building Domestic CapabilitiesTempered glass, a crucial accessory for smartphones, has so far been mostly imported. With this new facility, India aims to manufacture every part of a mobile device, including chips, tempered glass, and server components, as emphasized by Minister Vaishnaw.


This step supports the broader objective of Atmanirbhar Bharat—making India a global leader in electronics by reducing import dependence and increasing local value addition.


Economic and Industrial Impact

India’s electronics sector has grown sixfold in the last 11 years, reaching a production value of ₹11.5 lakh crore, with exports of over ₹3 lakh crore and 2.5 million jobs created. The new facility adds significantly to this momentum

Initial investment: ₹70 crore

Phase 1 capacity: 25 million units/year

Jobs created in Phase 1: 600

Phase 2 expansion: ₹800 crore

Future capacity: 200 million units/year

Expected new jobs: 4,500+


World-Class Manufacturing and Quality Standards

The Noida plant is equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure and offers a complete transformation of raw materials into high-quality tempered glass. Manufacturing stages include,

Scribing and chamfering

Polishing and dual-stage rinsing

Chemical tempering

Coating, printing, and lamination


Every unit undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure BIS certification and fog marking, providing Indian consumers with globally competitive products made domestically.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...
