Chinese electronics major lenovo is looking at the possibility of setting up a manufacturing unit for smartphones and tablets in India. The company already has a computer manufacturing plant in Puducherry.
“We are exploring the opportunity of setting up a manufacturing unit in the country,” Bhaskar Choudhuri, director (marketing) of lenovo India said. This is particularly because of the government's impetus on 'Make in India' as well as the huge opportunity which country presents, he said.
lenovo, which enjoys leadership positions in sales of laptops, PCs and tablets in India, is also planning to aggressively boost smartphone business in the country.
