Samsung's new manufacturing plant in Noida is the largest mobile phone factory in the world

The new Samsung factory is said to double the company's current mobile phone manufacturing capacity of 67 million to 120 million, by 2020.

"For Samsung, India is among the top five smartphone markets globally. The US is saturated and Korea and Brazil are not growing significantly. India is a big opportunity across price segments, including 2G feature phones. It makes sense for Samsung to build a bigger manufacturing base here," Jaipal Singh, Senior Market Analyst, IDC, told IANS.
