Khushtech Korea has announced that its Direct-to-Mobile (D2M) feature phones are ready for mass production in India after successfully completing the pre-production stage at its partner factory in Navi Mumbai.

The company said it has become the first firm in India to obtain certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for D2M feature phones.

Following the successful pre-production phase, the company has now moved to mass production as part of its plans to strengthen the D2M ecosystem in the country.

According to the company, its electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner facility in Navi Mumbai has relocated to a larger unit to expand production capacity. The new facility is expected to increase the factory’s annual output to about 3 million D2M feature phones.

The company added that the factory has set up a dedicated production line exclusively for manufacturing D2M feature phones for Khushtech Korea.

Speaking on the development, Eric Shin, CEO of Khushtech Korea, said the company intends to play a major role in building the D2M ecosystem in India.

“Khushtech Korea will aggressively play the role of an ecosystem builder to successfully introduce and launch new D2M technologies into India,” Shin said.

He also revealed that the company is working on upgraded versions of its D2M devices. According to Shin, a second version with additional features and a third version incorporating artificial intelligence capabilities are currently under development, with a target to complete them by the end of 2026.
