This is Mitsubishi D904i cellphone for NTT DoCoMo. Will Indian like it?

If Samsung had just planned to open more stores in India by this year, than Mitsubishi have another good idea. This Japanese Giant want to establish cellphone factory in West Bengal by 2010. Oh yes, good news for wanna be labour there.

This is of course because one thing most of us already know; that India is becoming world’s fastest growth country in term of wireless subscribers with their 10 million user base per month. For this Bengal-based factory, Mitsubishi has pull together with Indian local-based cellphone manufacturer, GeePee Infotech Pvt Ltd.

Bijay Agarwal, managing director of GeePee said that this project will start by the end of May. It will cost Mitsubishi for about Rs. 1 billion. That’s actually pretty big, but still far away from their chemical plant which worth Rs. 30 billion at the same place.

After leaving their homeland cellphone battleship, I think India will be a good market for Mitsubishi to start their cellphone’s new adventure. If they did it, then Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and LG are waiting to make some fight here.

Have a nice fight Mitsu …. just be careful Ok.
