industry in India. Mobile handset shipments in India have been increasing and

of the overall Asia Pacific shipments, with a market share of over There has
been quarter on quarter growth in the handset shipments in India barring a few
exceptions in two quarters. Local manufacturing has been very beneficial for
mobile handset makers in India and many Indian players are manufacturing the
product locally. All the other players, who do not have the local
manufacturing, are planning to start the manufacturing to get away with the
problems of currency exchange rates and supply side spikes. Nokia has been the
top player in the Indian mobile handset market and it has achieved a market
share of 29.44% in 2011 for all the three quarters. Nokia has been losing its
share to new entrants and local players in the Indian market. Samsung is

share of Samsung is up by 14.63% from 2010. Though all the players are trying
to gain market share but still Nokia is way above all of them and it will take
a long time before anyone else can take the lead position. Local players
Micromax, Maxx, Lava and Videocon are gaining market share and most of them
have launched low cost phones with features such as dual-SIM, long battery
life etc. Local players also have the advantage of local manufacturing.
