Sony India has its production facility located at Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.

"As movie theaters are shut due to the pandemic, people are enjoying the same experience with our products while staying at home," Nayyar added
The company has launched 'Stay Home, Stay Safe' programme in the wake of the lockdown.
The company is giving a price cut of 20 per cent on key BRAVIA TV models, Rs 20,000 off on purchase of any 'Alpha Full Frame' body together with select lenses and free home delivery on priority for select products.
"We want to offer the best home entertainment to customers who are spending time at home during the lockdown," Nayyar added.

"Customers' safety is the main priority at Sony and we have special benefits for customers opting for advance booking via Sony retail stores. Customers will get priority installation and demo post lockdown, along with high-standard, safe, free home delivery," said the company executive.
Sony began its India operations in 1994 and currently, its premium products including the BRAVIA TVs, digital imaging, personal audio and home audio in the country contribute about 25 per cent to its total revenue.
Sony India is also committed to the government's 'Make in India' programme and plans to increase local manufacturing projects for its TV category.
"Within a span of four years, more than 95 per cent of BRAVIA televisions are being locally manufactured at Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu," informed Nayyar.
Last year, Sony Mobile exited India market to focus on other regions. However, the firm's focus in the country continues to be on expanding its camera, audio and TV business.
