Pune, Maharashtra | September 2026 — RUCKUS Networks, a Belden brand, is expanding its footprint in India into local manufacturing, leveraging Belden’s established manufacturing capabilities in Pune to produce ICX Ethernet switches for customers across the country.
The development marks an important operational milestone following Belden’s acquisition of RUCKUS Networks and strengthens the company’s presence across innovation, engineering, customer success and manufacturing. The Pune manufacturing footprint is expected to bring RUCKUS Networks closer to customers and partners while expanding its ability to support India’s growing demand for digital infrastructure and networking solutions.
RUCKUS Networks’ India presence extends beyond manufacturing. Bengaluru serves as the company’s largest global site for research and development and customer success, while its Research & Design centre in Chennai, established in collaboration with IIT Madras Research Park, supports software development, engineering talent and networking innovation. With the addition of Pune, the company is creating a broader end-to-end operational footprint spanning innovation, customer engagement and production.
The initial manufacturing focus in Pune is on the company’s ICX Ethernet switching portfolio. The move also comes as India continues to strengthen its domestic electronics and networking equipment manufacturing ecosystem, with increasing emphasis on local production and domestic value addition.
For Pune, the development further highlights the city’s growing role in advanced manufacturing and technology operations. The presence of global companies across engineering, research and development, digital infrastructure and manufacturing is contributing to Pune’s evolution as an important technology and industrial hub.
RUCKUS Networks’ expansion adds another global technology player to Pune’s growing ecosystem and reflects the city’s ability to support increasingly integrated global operations — from engineering and innovation to manufacturing and customer delivery.
