Let’s start with our main topic,

1. Is lava an Indian company?.

Lava is an Indian multinational electronic company that started in 2009. Lava international founded by Hari Om Rai, Sunil Bhalla, Shailendra Nath Rai, and Vishal Sehgal.

It is one of the leading Smartphone manufacturing brands in India who has headquarter in Noida.

Lava has three manufacturing units in India and the largest of them is in Noida with a device production capacity of 3 million per month.

Most importantly, Lava has an R&D Center in India where design and development work is done.

Similarly, there is an R&D center and manufacturing unit in China but it will be shifted to India soon, so I did not mention it above.

Because, the company has said so, on official sites and in interviews. I will give the details of this in the next point.

Lava used to make phones in China because making mobiles there would cost less than in India.

But for now, the picture is changing because the government’s productive Linked Incentives scheme will enable Lava to build a mobile phone in India on a budget.

That is why Lava is now shifting to India and has started making Made in India mobile for Indians.

Lava has currently invested Rs 80 crore by reopening its plant in Noida and 600 employees are working there.

Going further, they are starting full manufacturing in India by investing more.

Lava phones also exported to markets in Mexico, Asia, Indonesia, and Africa. Now next point owners of lava.

Who is the owner of Lava Company?.

Hari om rai is the co-founder, managing director, and chairman of Lava International. Hari Om’s many years of experience become a force for developing lava strongly and effectively.

Similarly, Sunil Bhalla, Shailendra Nath Rai, and Vishal Sehgal are also Managing Directors and Co-Founders of Lava International.

This is all about basic information about lava ownership.

Lets see other activities of lava in manufacturing sector.

Lava has come a long way in the manufacturing sector. They also make Nokia phones through contract manufacturing in India.

Likewise, Lava will start making Motorola phones as they want to expand at the manufacturing pace.

So, Lava not only manufactures its own phones but also manufactures mobiles of other companies. Hence, I said lava came a long way in the manufacturing sector.

In January 2021, Lava launched the smartphones ‘Z’ Series with fully customizable features and Lava’s ‘Made in India’ mobiles are available in the market with a low budget and good features.

So, lava is an Indian company and not a Chinese one.

1.1 History of Lava international last few years:

Lava’s in-house research center and manufacturing unit were in China. Initially, Lava make phones in China, mostly for foreign markets.

Since there were no Indian government schemes at that time, it was costly for the Lava Company to make phones in India.

However, when Xiaomi Chinese phones soared in the Indian market, the demand for Indian smartphones like Lava and Micromax began to decline.

Despite this, it is the only Indian Smartphone company that continues to develop. They have sold almost 110 billion mobile handsets for the last five years.

Lava company export over 32 % of mobile phones to markets such as Mexico, Africa, and Asia. It has so much potential that it can stand out as a competitor in the Smartphone market.

At that time, lava mobiles between Rs 5,000 and 6,000 were doing well in the market.

1.2 Lava Indian mobile Company in 2020-2021:

Lava to shift its manufacturing plant and R&D from china to India:

Ever since the government launched the Vocal for Local and PLI scheme, Lava has decided to shift the entire R&D department and manufacturing unit from China to India.

Hari om rai (lava managing director) said, “We have been eagerly looking forward to an opportunity to shift our entire mobile R&D, design, and manufacturing from China to India. With the production linked incentives, our manufacturing disabilities for the world market would largely be met hence we plan to make this shift,”

As I said earlier, Lava has invested Rs 80 crore at present. Subsequently, Lava will invest a total of Rs 800 crore in the next few years in India.

Further, they will now work for a price range segment of 10k to15k.

2. Are lava phones made in India?.

Yes, lava phones are made in India. As I said above, Lava make mobiles in their manufacturing unit in India.

Lava procures about 40% of the material required to make these phones from Indian suppliers and will gradually increase it.

Also, some components are imported from Japan and South Korea. So, the company not dependent on China alone.

Currently, the Noida plant will have 20% production capacity at present and for this, they have hired 600 employees.

The company owns a Surface Mount Technology unit.

Additionally, they moving towards creating PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) parts locally with full focus. You may know that this PCBA part is important for any mobile.

Lava has launched Made in India mobile of ‘Z’ Series with high-quality features in the budget.

2.1 Lava to boost smartphone manufacturing 2021:

Lava has decided to invest another 800 crores to boost smartphone production. Lava’s aim is to capture 5% of the market in 2021.

By the end of 2021, Lava will have 1/3 of its portfolio ready for 5G phones. So there is no doubt that Lava will soon make a big place in the Indian market.

Lava’s phones that used to be exported were made in China, but as I said earlier, Lava is shifting its manufacturing unit to India, including an R&D center.

That means the company will manufacture its headsets in its own factories in India instead of manufacturing them in China.

As you can see, Lava smartphones will no longer made in China.

4. Conclusion on lava is Indian company or not:

I have cleared everything above that Lava is an Indian company and I don’t think there is any doubt left now.

One more thing to note, not every product labeled ‘made in china’ belongs to an Chinese company.

Similarly, not every product labeled ‘made in India’ belongs to an Indian company.

Not knowing about many such brands sometimes negatively affects our Indian brands.

Currently, sales of Chinese smartphones have increased in India and our Indian brands are lagging behind.

An Indian company like Lava returned to India from China and started manufacturing.

Such companies that launch Made in India smartphones or devices would be wrong to avoid looking at their past history.

Of course some companies manufacture in China but at the same time the company is also trying to manufacture in India.

So we fall behind in supporting our brands. If Indian companies want to develop, we need to buy their smartphones.

We should always support the Indian companies because now our country needs it.
