Prime Minister Narendra Modi and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will arrive together to inaugurate the factory. The existing Samsung plant, in the same location, was set up in the early 1990s. It started manufacturing TVs in 1997. The current mobile phone manufacturing unit was added to the plant in 2005.
One year ago, in June 2017, Samsung announced an investment of Rs 4,915 crore to expand the Noida plant. It looks like the investment has led to doubling the production capacity of the plant.
Samsung currently manufactures about 67 million smartphones in India. With the new expansion, this will go up to 120 million mobile phones. It is not just mobile phones that will see an increase in production but other products from Samsung’s portfolio including refrigerators and flat panel televisions.
