The newly commissioned manufacturing facility will focus on diagnostic imaging solutions, initially developed for the Indian market and then for global markets. These solutions will primarily target cardiology (catheterization lab) and radiology (general X-ray) applications. The first products to be manufactured in the facility will be diagnostic X-Ray systems and the Allura FC – Philips’ first India developed cauterization lab. This is the company's sixth centre of excellence in India after Netherlands, Germany, China, USA and Israel.
