MSI Expands ‘Make In India’ Initiative With Local Production Of Katana And Crosshair RTX-50 Series Laptops

MSI has expanded its ‘Make in India’ initiative by starting local production of the Katana and Crosshair laptops, featuring NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics. This manufacturing is conducted at MSI’s Chennai facility in collaboration with Syrma SGS Technology Limited. This move underscores MSI’s commitment to India’s growing technology sector and aims to make advanced laptops more accessible to Indian consumers.

India has emerged as one of MSI’s rapidly expanding markets, driven by increasing demand from gamers, creators, and professionals. Following the successful domestic production of the Modern and Katana models, MSI is now extending its manufacturing efforts to include the updated Katana series and the flagship Crosshair range. This step reflects MSI’s confidence in India’s manufacturing capabilities.
