Besides its existing facility in Greater Noida, the company is also planning a 1000-acre industrial park with an investment of over Rs 1,400 crore. Part of a long-term plan, operations in this park are expected to begin in the next two to three years.
"The company will begin operations at the new Surface Mount Technology (SMT) facility in Greater Noida in 2017 the part of their commitment under Make in India programme," person familiar to the development said.

"The top three Chinese vendors (Huawei, OPPO, and vivo) are persistently applying pressure on Samsung within China thanks to a vast portfolio of affordable, well-built devices. Not only is this pressure coming at the low-end, but high-end devices like the P9, Mate 8, R9s, and XPlay6 haven proven viable options for consumers looking to upgrade or save money without sacrificing quality," said Anthony Scarsella, research manager with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker
