CHENNAI: Production of mobile phones from Motorola's manufacturing facility, coming up at a Special Economic Zone at Sriperumbudur near here, will begin in the first quarter of next year.
This was conveyed to IT and Communications Minister Dayanidhi Maran by a team of Motorola officials led by company CEO Ed Zander.
"They also showed me a custom-made phone for the Indian market. Motorola is also evincing keen interest in Wimax technology," Maran said.
The Sriperumbudur facility is being set up at an investment of USD 100 million and is expected to manufacture one million phones per month.
Zander had inaugurated the company's Rs 60 crore R&D centre at Hyderabad yesterday. The facility would house over 1,000 persons.
To a query on Nokia India CEO Jukka Lehtehla's observation that infrastructure was a huge problem for the company, Maran said these were teething problems faced by an economy, which would be sorted out soon.
