The company, which is ranked No. 4 in notebook computers, entered the India’s smartphone market a little late. ASUS aims to produce 150,000 smartphones in India per month by the end of the current financial year, which will account for almost 80% of the sales in India. ASUS India Regional Head (South Asia & Country Manager – System Business Group) Peter Chang said that we are aggressively targeting the Indian market. We aim to achieve 5% market share in the country by next year and empower all our customers with luxury.

The manufacturing activities will be kick-started in two months of time with its recently launched model Zenfone 2 Laser, which will soon be followed by the Zenfone Go.
