"We are planning to start manufacturing of S4 soon at our Noida facility," Samsung Mobile and Digital Imaging Country head Vineet Taneja said.
He, however, refused to share any time-frame by when the production will start. The Noida facility is manufacturing about 35-40 million phones annually, including 12 smartphones such as Galaxy S3.
The company currently imports the recently launched Galaxy S4 from South Korea.
Sensing huge demand for Galaxy S4, the company is also looking to double up the high-end smartphone market size in India, which is currently contributing around 10-12 per cent of the overall smartphone market.
Although Samsung is the #1 in smartphone market in India, but competition from Apple, BlackBerry and Nokia has put pressure on it.
