Bawal: Homegrown mobile company, Karbonn Mobiles, announced the setting up of its third manufacturing unit in Bawal, Haryana. This facility is spread over 10 acres of land and has a capacity of about 30 million units per annum.
Touted as one of the first mobile manufacturing factories in India to have received an ISO 9001 and 14001 certification, this facility has 22 assembly lines and has been set up in a short span of six months.
With a current capacity of 1.5 million units per month, this facility is projected to rise to its full potential of close to 2.5 million units by year-end and create job opportunities for 4000 people.
As the company envisions to become the largest manufacturer of mobile phones over the next few years, it intends to continue with its focus on offering customised products for the Indian consumers. Its mission is to 'empower Indian users by reducing smartphone adoption barriers." For this, the company aims to offer products with more regional language support and Indianised apps.
Other than the two units in Noida, Uttar Pradesh and the newest facility in Haryana which has been developed in collaboration with Vsun Mobiles, Karbonn is setting up another facility in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. It will have surface-mount technology (SMT) production and assembly lines. It will also house charger and battery units for the supplies.
Over the next one year, Karbonn Mobiles will invest Rs 2000 crores to further expand its mobile business and venture into new product categories including televisions. The company also intends to venture into the hot market of artificial intelligence with its own exclusive service that will have e-commerce at its core. While it did not disclose what that service would be, it most certainly will be a customised version for the Indian consumer.
