We are delighted to announce our investment plans to set up a mobile manufacturing unit in Uttar Pradesh with the support of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. With a local manufacturing plant, Spice Group can achieve its vision to create affordable and high technology mobile products for a larger audience. Uttar Pradesh has had a strong connection with our group, ever since we set up the country’s first photocopier manufacturing plant in the state. We would like to thank the Government of Uttar Pradesh for once again extending their support in expanding our company’s business plans.

Spice Group targets the tier II and III markets through its affordable segment of smartphones and feature phones and unique offerings, it said. It is great to see Indian companies investing in building new mobile manufacturing units in India. This would provide employment facilities to Indians and also bring down the cost of mobile phones, making it more affordable. Earlier today Samsung announced expansion of its Noida mobile plant by investing Rs. 517 crores.
