    Indian smartphone maker Lava set to raise $100 million
  • Pitched to be one of the biggest domestic smartphone manufacturers in India, Lava International is reportedly raising investments of $100 million from chip makers.

  • Reports stated that Lava's senior executives were not able to approach the market to raise investments earlier due to weak market conditions and increasing competition.

    The company said its new strategy for gaining investments should see more companies come on board over the next few quarters, to help boost its display and memory segments.

    Lava is also looking to invest Rs.2,600 crore across units.

    Looking forward: Lava targets higher units, investments

  • "We have plans to increase our manufacturing facilities' overall capacity to 216 million units per annum in the next 5 to 8 years, which will entail an investment of Rs. 2,615 crore, of which Rs.500 crore will be invested over the next two years."- Lava
