The Company commenced the production of Colour televisions at the Noida CTV facility in June, 1997. The 10 Millionth set rolled out today is the 29" Slimfit TV model, 29Z30. Speaking on the occasion, stated Mr. S H Oh, Managing Director, Samsung India Electronics Pvt. Ltd,"The production of the 10 millionth CTV set at the Noida CTV facility derives its significance not only from the sheer quantum of sets produced, but also from the fact that this facility enjoys the highest productivity and the lowest loss ratio amongst all Samsung subsidiaries in the world".

The Tact time of the Noida CTV Facility is also the lowest amongst all Samsung CTV manufacturing units in the world.
