Lenovo starts making smartphones

Also, Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma's Yu Televentures and Xolo's Black brand of smartphones have announced similar plans. "Lenovo is not new to manufacturing in India. We recognised the potential of India and we invested in PC manufacturing several years ago. "Lenovo's investment in the new manufacturing plant represents the potential we see in the Indian market and our long term commitment to our customers," said Chen Xudong, President MBG Group, Lenovo and Chairman Motorola Mobility Operating Board. In the past ten years, "our brand has grown manifold in India. We are excited to expand our presence and tap into India's competent talent pool that will enable us to develop cutting-edge products for our customers across the world", he said. Lenovo, the world's largest PC maker, said 6 million smartphones will be made at the Sriperambudur unit this fiscal.
