According to sources, Mukesh Ambani’s company Reliance Retail is in talks with Dixon Technologies, which manufactures Bharat phone, to manufacture JioBook laptop.
Isha Ambani-led Reliance Retail is planning to manufacture its newly launched Reliance JioBook laptop in India with the Modi-led government at the Centre deciding to ban the import of tablets, notebooks and some other electronic devices.

It is to be noted that Reliance owns 50.1 per cent stake in Sanmina. “The first lot of laptops required to meet the initial books for the laptop has already been imported. Reliance has been looking to manufacture more and more in India so even the laptops can be made here going forward,” a source was quoted as saying by Business Today.
Few days ago, JioBook priced at Rs 16,499 was launched by Reliance Retail. JioBook comes with a 4G LTE sim and has a 2.0 GHz octa-core processor, 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB (Expandable up to 256GB with SD card) storage, Infinity keyboard, multi-gesture trackpad and in-built USB/HDMI ports.
