India proudly brags to have the world’s largest factory which makes mobile phones set up by Samsung at a 35 acre plot in Sector 81 Noida Uttar Pradesh. It has successfully been inaugurated by the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi and the South Korean President Moon Jae who landed together at a quickly-prepared helipad adjacent to the factory on Monday.
Samsung is currently making 67 million smartphones in India and with the new plant being functional, it is expected to manufacture nearly 120 million mobile phones. The expansion of the current facility will help reaching double productions in Samsung’s production capacity of consumer electronics like refrigerators and flat panel televisions and not just mobile phones. This step therefore further consolidates the company’s leadership in these segments.
