"We are contemplating starting manufacturing CDMA handsets by next year," LG Electronics India Ltd managing director K R Kim said, after inaugurating LG's fist one stop service mall in New Delhi.
Declining to share investment details for the project, he said manufacturing of the CDMA handsets would be done at the company's existing plant in Pune.
"As of now, the company imports CDMA handsets in India, but once the manufacturing begins it would be sufficient for the market here," he said.
The Pune plant produces over one million GSM mobile handsets and the company plan to scale it up to 10 million by 2010, he said.
The LG Service Mall, which is centralised service centre, is designed to streamline service related concerns of the customers. The facility would also help monitor service standards and procedures at all LG Service Centres across the country, he said.
The company plans to open many more service malls across the country. In phase-I, six metros such as Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai would be covered whereas other big cities would be covered later, Kim said.
