Haier is one of the Chinese companies and it is very well known in many parts of the world. It is aggressively pursuing a policy of expanding its operations in the foreign countries and now Haier has decided that it should not miss the market opportunity of India. The company is going to open a manufacturing plant to produce mobile phone sets in India within 18-24 months. Arun Khanna, the Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Haier Telecom India, today said, "Our target is to achieve a sales of 5 million handsets in India, in another 18-24 months. If we achieve this target then we would consider setting up a manufacturing unit here in India." The way the use of mobile phone in India is increasing; there is every possibility that Haier will achieve this sales target.
Haier has now entered into a strategic alliance with Tata Teleservices for its CDMA handsets. It is also contemplating on the idea of software development research in India so that it can address the Indian market more seriously.
The continuous growth in Indian economy has made the Indian market a viable option for international companies to open manufacturing plant here. I guess in the next budget, Indian government will offer a number of opportunities for foreign investors who want to set up manufacturing facilities in India.
