Your Set-Top Box Will Now be Made in India Too: All New Dish TV STBs Are Aatmanirbhar

Dish TV has announced that it is making and already selling its Make in India set-top boxes, with the first batch of its locally manufactured direct-to-home streaming boxes rolling out to Dish TV’s latest customers right now. Underlining its new product strategy in alignment with the ‘vocal for local’ narrative, Dish TV says that alongside rolling out its first batch of made in India STBs, the company also plans to move the manufacturing of at least 50 percent of all its boxes to India within March 2021.

In terms of the full manufacturing process, Dish TV India has said that it will step up its local manufacturing initiative more intensively in the coming months, and will involve manufacturing or procuring components for the set-top boxes from Indian manufacturers and suppliers. At the moment, Dish TV is making the housing for the boxes, and will soon procure the power adapter for its boxes from Indian supplier partners, too. The brand also states that it is in “advanced stage talks” to procure remote controls for its set-top boxes from Indian partners.
