Lenovo bags order from Tamil Nadu for 1.5 million laptops

Lenovo India has bagged an order from the Tamil Nadu government for providing over 1.5 million laptops to students in the state, according to a company official.

“We have won a large order from the Tamil Nadu government for supplying over 1.56 million laptops for free distribution to students in the state. This entire order is expected to be completed over the next few months,” Lenovo India Director (Commercial Named Account Business) Stephen Sequeira told PTI.

He, however, declined to comment on the financial details of the deal. Sequeira said state-owned ELCOT – the nodal agency for procuring electronic hardware and software for the state government and its schemes – finalised the tender where Lenovo outbid the other brands.
