Made-in-India X-ray or patient monitors with a Philips tag may not be far off: parent Philips Electronics plans to foray into medical equipment manufacturing in India through an acquisition or in a joint venture with a local company, according to Mr Wayne Spittle, Vice-President & General Manager, Asia Pacific, Philips Medical Systems.

These are early days and there are no targets to name yet. An Indian venture, when it happens, would make affordable and low-end imaging equipment such as X-ray machines and personal healthcare monitors for the domestic and regional markets, Mr Spittle, based in Hong Kong, said during the company's interaction with global media in Chicago.
