Are Jio phones made in India?

Contrary to what Jio announced during the launch, Jio phones are NOT made in India. They are imported from Taiwan.

Jio phones are being imported from Taiwan and will land at various locations in India, hence these locations may get the delivery first. Some of the locations where Jio phones will land first are – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
After landing at these locations, the Jio phones will be sent to Jio Centres and Reliance Digital stores from where they will be directly sent to the dealers. The firm will also use the services other logistic companies to make deliveries of Jio Phone. (source)
