After Dell announced its manufacturing plans yesterday, competitor Lenovo's not planning to lag behind. 2008 onwards, Lenovo will churn out around a million PC units from India.
The Himachal Pradesh Government has already allocated about 10 acres of land for a proposed manufacturing plant at Nalagarh. The global PC giant is likely to manufacture close to 4 lakh computers every year from the plant.
The company currently has a manufacturing facility of 6 lakh units in Pondicherry, by virtue of it acquiring IBM's global PC business.
Neeraj Sharma, CEO of Lenovo South Asia says, "There is going to be investment in the form of an expanded capacity or maybe we are looking at a plant somewhere in the North and putting up distribution centres around it."
