Karbonn

The Indian smartphone brands are looking to fill the vacuum created in the sub-Rs 10,000 segment

Before September 2020, there was no import duty on such panels, but from October 1, 2020, an import duty of 10% is levied under the Centre's phased manufacturing programme

While the leading brands continued to gain share, fringe players had to bear the brunt of supply chain constraints and growing anti-China sentiments to some extent

Karbonn is also opening new facility in Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh which will have surface-mount technology production and assembly lines

The smartphone runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop and features a 5-inch capacitive screen
