Company and Product News

​Siemens is looking at expansion of its manufacturing base of healthcare equipment such as X-ray and other products in India to cater to the global market. The company said it does not plan to open a new facility in India as of now, but plans to expand its existing manufacturing base to supply clinical products to other countries. Currently, Siemens' Goa plant makes different kinds of x-rays and c-arms for both domestic and global markets, while its Baroda unit manufactures urine strips and reagents used for testing lab diagnostic samples. The company wants to increase the breadth and depth of their local manufacturing portfolio primarily with "local-for-local concept" as India is a very significant market; eventually, Siemens aims to manufacture in India for global consumption as well.

Key installations:

  • Hospitals and Imaging Centers of SRL are using Siemens' primary healthcare solutions

  • In 2013, India's first integrated PET/MR-system Biograph mMR was installed at Delhi-based Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and Asia's first SOMATOM Def Edge at PSG Hospital in Coimbatore.
  • Siemens has been providing primary healthcare on wheels "Sanjeevan mobile clinics" to remote rural areas in the north and east of India for the last 10 years
