South Korean electronics major LG on Thursday launched two locally-made smartphones and targets to manufacture one million phones in India.
The company will be manufacturing phones at its Noida facility in partnership with GDN Enterprises.
The devices, which are priced at Rs 9,500 and Rs 13,500, were launched by Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. "I am happy that the company will make 1 million smartphones at this facility which they have started,” the Minister said.
“We want to tap the huge potential for smartphones in the country and the K-series will be the first ones to be manufactured in India,” LG Electronics India Managing Director Kim Ki-Wan said here. Nearly six to eight models of smartphones will be made in the new facility in the next six months, he added.
