Samsung may make premium laptops here

Samsung Electronics is open to producing its premium laptops locally in India, leveraging the incentive scheme offered by the government if the South Korean firm achieves sufficient volume and scale, said a senior executive.

“India market is important for us for several reasons… we do understand that ‘made in India’ is important in the Indian market. That’s why many of our Galaxy products are produced locally,” Mincheol Lee, vice president at Samsung Electronics, told ET. “Just like we did for other markets, if we can see sufficient volume and scale of this business in the India market, we will definitely consider the possibility of producing laptops locally.”
