Battered by competition, Intex plans to make products for Chinese firms

Kolkata: This may be a classic case of ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’.

Bowing down to the Chinese handset brands which has almost wiped away the domestic mobile phone industry, the second largest home grown maker Intex Technologies is now planning to contract manufacture for the Chinese to make a turnaround.

Intex promoter and director Keshav Bansal said in the light of tariff war between the US and China, few Chinese companies are in final talks with Intex for manufacturing and export of products to USA from India. This, he expects, will be one of the key strategy to revive the company. Intex has been badly hit by Chinese brigade of Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Itel and Realme.
