TP-Link, a network equipment maker, has asserted that its Indian operations are part of TP-Link Systems, a US entity that separated from its Chinese parent company in 2024. This clarification comes as India enforces a ban on non-certified CCTV cameras, particularly those using Chinese components. TP-Link India CEO Sanjay Sehgal emphasized that the Indian unit is owned by a Singapore-based holding company, which holds a 99.9% stake in TP-Link India. The company entered the video surveillance market in India in 2021, but the segment now accounts for only 10% of its revenues due to regulatory challenges. As of February 2026, TP-Link received approval for two of eight CCTV models submitted for testing, while domestic competitors have over 20 certified models. The company is ramping up local manufacturing, with 92% of its products now made in India, sourcing components from Taiwan and the US in compliance with government mandates. TP-Link plans to establish its own manufacturing facilities in India for future exports.
