To strengthen their manufacturing hub at Noida and increasing the manufacturing capacity, Samsung is investing Rs. 4915 Crores to strengthen the Noida Manufacturing Hub which currently manufactures smartphones, refrigerators, and flat-panel televisions.

Noida production hub is the company’s first production facility in India, set up back in 1996. The investment reaffirms Samsung’s commitment to ‘Make in India’ and ‘Make for India’ and to the state of Uttar Pradesh. The expansion will be done on the addition 35 acres of land adjacent to the old plant and after both the plants work together, the manufacturing capacity will get doubled for both phones and refrigerators.
