Align Technology, a leading global medical device company, is establishing its inaugural manufacturing facility in India, located in Hyderabad. The company is committing a substantial investment of ₹1,800 crore to the project, signaling a significant expansion into the Indian market.
The agreement formalizing this investment was solidified through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Telangana Life Sciences, a key governmental body supporting the growth of the life sciences sector in the state. This partnership underscores the Telangana government’s commitment to attracting foreign investment and fostering innovation in the healthcare and medical device industries.
The new facility is expected to create over 300 jobs, contributing to the local economy and providing opportunities for skilled workers in the region.
