FUJIFILM India inaugurates endoscopy manufacturing facility in Jodhpur

FUJIFILM India has announced the inauguration of endoscopy manufacturing operations in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The company stated that the development marks a milestone in its endoscopy operations in India and aligns with the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.

The inauguration was attended by Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Union Minister, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Government of India, as Chief Guest, and Gajendra Singh Khimsar, Cabinet Minister, Ministry of Medical, Health & Family Welfare, Government of Rajasthan, as Guest of Honour. Haruto Iwata, Managing Director, FUJIFILM Asia Pacific, and Koji Wada, Managing Director, FUJIFILM India, along with representatives from the healthcare sector and government institutions, were present at the event.

The company stated that the expansion advances its healthcare manufacturing capabilities in India and supports local production of healthcare technologies. The initiative follows Fujifilm’s Japanese quality and localisation standards and integrates production processes and quality systems.

Under the localisation framework, FUJIFILM India will manufacture endoscopy systems designed to address diagnostic requirements and endoscopic examinations. The systems are equipped with LED light sources that control multi-coloured LED illumination and image processing technologies to deliver images for diagnostic requirements. Features include Blue Light Imaging (BLI), which supports visualisation of blood vessels and microstructures of the mucosal surface, and Linked Color Imaging (LCI), which highlights colour differences in red regions of the image to support physicians during examinations.

Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Union Minister of Culture & Tourism, Government of India, said, “The vision of Viksit Bharat is rooted in building world-class capabilities within the country, across healthcare, technology, infrastructure and human capital. In the Amrit Kaal, efforts that enhance domestic presence in high-precision sectors such as medical devices align strongly with the national development agenda while supporting improved patient outcomes. This step reflects the kind of capacity-building that will enable India to emerge as a trusted global hub.”

Gajendra Singh Khimsar, Cabinet Minister, Ministry of Medical, Health & Family Welfare, Government of Rajasthan, said, “Viksit Rajasthan @2047 is about building capabilities that generate jobs, strengthen infrastructure, and attract advanced technology integration. The endoscopy manufacturing operations in Jodhpur showcases growing confidence in Rajasthan’s industrial ecosystem and reinforces our focus on attracting technology-led, quality-driven production that creates employment and builds long-term capability.”

Haruto Iwata, Managing Director, FUJIFILM Asia Pacific, said, “India’s healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly, with increasing emphasis on early detection, minimally invasive diagnostics, and access to reliable healthcare technology. By bringing Japanese quality standards and advanced endoscopic technologies to India, we aim to strengthen diagnostic capabilities while contributing to the broader objective of building sustainable, high-quality medical infrastructure.”

Koji Wada, Managing Director, FUJIFILM India said, “This milestone is an important part of Fujifilm’s roadmap to deepen our healthcare footprint in India. It reflects our group purpose of ‘Giving our world more smiles’ by supporting India’s healthcare providers with capabilities that will strengthen diagnostic infrastructure. We continue to remain committed to bringing our diverse ideas and unique capabilities together to change the world.”

FUJIFILM India stated that it will consider expanding the scope of Made in India offerings to support neighbouring markets and strengthen India’s role as a manufacturing and supply base within its global healthcare network.
