In 2020, the Narendra Modi administration envisioned ' Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Independent India) ' as a core concept of economic policy. The idea is to make the country and its people independent and independent in every sense, with economic, infrastructure, technology-driven systems, vibrant demography, and demand as the five pillars of reform, agricultural supply chain reform and taxation. We promoted bold reforms such as rationalization of the law and clarification of the law.

In response to this initiative, Amazon announced on February 16, 2021 that it would establish India's first in-house device manufacturing line. The manufacturing itself will be outsourced to Foxconn in Taiwan, the world's largest electronic equipment production group, and a production line will be secured at the Chennai factory of Cloud Network Technology, which is under the umbrella of Foxconn, with the aim of shipping the Fire TV Stick within 2021.



At the time of this announcement, Amit Agarwal, the head of Amazon's Indian corporation, said, 'Amazon will cooperate with the Indian government to promote Aatmanirbhar Bharat (independent India). We will invest 1 billion dollars (about 106 billion yen). By digitizing small and medium-sized enterprises that employ a total of 10 million people, helping Indian enterprises to obtain global sales channels, cumulative shipments of 10 billion dollars (about 1.6 trillion yen) and 1 million by 2025 We promise to create jobs for people. ' India's Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad said, 'India is an attractive investment destination and a potential player in the global supply chain in the electronics and IT equipment industry. Strengthen domestic production capacity and hire. We welcome Amazon's decision to create it. '
