Detel Mobiles signs pact with AP Government to set up its first manufacturing unit

Detel Mobiles and Accessories has announced its association with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to start its first manufacturing plant in the country. The objective is to cater to 40 crore unconnected people with the range of most economical feature phones by Detel. MoU has been signed by both the parties at the Sunrise Andhra Pradesh Investment Meet held in Visakhapatnam.

Under this provision, the company plans to manufacture its feature phones, and other products to propel the “Make-in-India” initiative of the Government of India. Detel emphasizes the fact that owning a phone is no longer an option but a necessity now. The company has made strategic alliances with the State government, as well as retail partners like Barista, and telecom operators like BSNL to reach to the nooks and corners of the country and make every person, living in tier-3, -4 and even -5 cities, equipped with a feature phone.

Yogesh Bhatia, Managing Director, S.G. Corporate Mobility, says, “With the launch of the world’s most economical feature phone, we had broken a barrier of access to communication for people at the bottom of the pyramid. We have been working towards our vision of ‘connecting the unconnected’ and the same has been acknowledged by Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.”
