Xiaomi has said it is in the process of expanding its products portfolio in India to also include devices such as washing machines, water purifiers, refrigerators, laptop and such in the coming weeks and months. This will be on top of the MiTVs the company has already been selling in the country.
The Chinese manufacturers, however, aren’t letting out any details just yet. That includes the exact devices it plans to launch in the not too distant future or whether it would be importing them or manufacture them wholly in India. Company officials said they are keeping all options open on this at the moment.
That means they might start with importing their stuff from China in the beginning before shifting to setting up manufacturing bases in the country. Or the company might even commence manufacturing the products in the country itself to make further them more cost-effective. Xiaomi had built its business empire offering products at competitive rates vis-a-vis the competition. The company currently manufactures its entire TV range locally in the country.
This should also be something for Samsung to be worried about. Xiaomi has earlier dethroned the South Korean giant to become the largest seller of smartphones in India. The Beijing headquartered company right now commands a 28.9 percent share of the smartphone market in India and has been the market leader here since Q4, 2017.

- [Important Compatibility & Installation Note] Refrigerator/Ice-Maker Connection: Enjoy purified water beyond the sink—perfect for busy kitchens. Connect the Viomi M1 to a compatible refrigerator or ice maker using standard tubing (not included) and activate "Multi-device Mode" in the app for easy setup. Installation Requirements: The system requires a standard electrical outlet and two drilled holes—a 1"-1.5" hole for the dedicated smart faucet and a 1/4" hole for the drain pipe. If you have a garbage disposer, the filter needs its own dedicated outlet for constant power—it cannot share the switched outlet typically used for the disposer.

Perfect for drinking, coffee, espresso, tea, baby formula, soups, and everyday cooking, it delivers the purity of reverse osmosis without the flat taste many people associate with traditional RO water.
