Arduino releases "Arduino UNO Ek R4" exclusively Made-in-India

Arduino releases "Arduino UNO Ek R4" exclusively Made-in-India

Coinciding with the Republic Day of India (26th of Jan), Arduino has announced the launch of "Arduino UNO एक  (Ek) R4 Minima" &  "Arduino UNO एक  (Ek) R4 WiFi" under “Make in India” campaign. The model is same as their global counterpart but specifically made for local availability in India. 

"Ek" means One in Hindi

Product Name Price USA store Price in IN store
Arduino UNO R4 Minima  $20 $9.8
Arduino UNO R4 WiFi $27.5 $15.94

The cost of Arduino UNO एक R4 WiFi board is pretty low considering the Dev Kits of Renesas board and ESP32S3 cost more or less same.

Honestly, I feel this is a great initiative by the Arduino, not only we get the boards with cheaper price, we can also avoid cheap counterfeit products as well.

    It is good to see India come up with an exportable electronics component.

    Depending on taxes at the other end and shipping costs, might also be worth exporting them from India. (Arduino might not like that, but it's not illegal).

    "...There isn't anything special about it other than signifying the board first of it's kind, by which they mean the first Arduino boards to be manufactured fully in India..."

    I think it's probably even simpler than that.

    'Uno' means 'one' in Italian so looks like 'UNO' has just been replaced with the Hindi for 'one'.

    Make in India is a campaign promoted by our government to provide incentives to local MSMEs to create products locally than to import overseas. They also provide tax concessions to companies to manufacture their boards in India (Apple phones comes with made in India tag these days). Arduino is following those steps as well.
