Other than making the announcement of Redmi 4A launch, Xiaomi also hinted at launching successor to Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime smartphones in India 

"And yes!!! The successor to Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime is also coming soon!  @RedmiIndia @XiaomiIndia (3)," cited Jain on Twitter.

Besides, Xiaomi has also announced its partnership with Foxconn to set up its second manufacturing unit in the country at Sri City in Andhra Pradesh, PTI report said.

Xiaomi had entered India in July 2014 and started local manufacturing just over a year later. The new facility will be exclusive to Xiaomi, while the older one may see Foxconn making handsets for other vendors too.

While the company declined to comment on the investment details, it said Xiaomi will be able to make "one phone per second in India".

 "While I cannot disclose the exact capacity, I can tell you that we will be able to manufacture one phone per second whenever the lines are running. The two factories combined will provide employment to about 5,000 people, 90% of which are women," PTI reported quoting Xiaomi India managing director Manu Kumar Jain, as saying.

The move will help Xiaomi meet about 95% of its demand in India from these two facilities.

"Now more than 95% of our phones being sold in India are #MakeInIndia @makeinindia @XiaomiIndia @RedmiIndia (3)," Jain said on Twitter.

However, it will continue to import accessories, ecosystem products and its premium product, Mi5 from China, the report said.
