Micromax's Canvas Line Getting Stronger

Micromax has become one of the leading mobile manufacturers when it comes to the Indian market. Micromax’s Canvas 2 A110 was awarded many accolades that enabled the Indian manufacturer to become an entity to contend with, and not only in the budget Android market. Micromax’s Canvas line, now burgeoned with the likes of the Canvas HD A116, looks to set the trend in terms of quality offerings on a budget. Just a day after Micromax launched the Canvas HD, Samsung revealed the Galaxy Grand, which is also a 5-inch mobile boasting similar features.                  

Micromax is currently enjoying a greater amount of profit and tremendous success since the launch of its Canvas series products. Micromax is rising high and it aims to be the largest mobile manufacturer and seller in India. The sales for Micromax’s mobiles have increased due to their cost efficient mobiles with latest technologies. Micromax’s success in sales with regards to its latest model is described below:

Micromax launched its latest Canvas model, the Canvas HD A116 on this year’s Valentine’s Day (14^th February, 2013) and the company sold around 9000 devices within 24 hours of its launch. Canvas A116 HD is one of the fastest selling devices in this quarter. The company sold 25 devices every minute since it was launched into the market. The phone was completely sold out just within 2 days of launch, and is currently facing delays due to the intense demand. Also, Micromax has mentioned that prices would be increased by INR 1000/- due to the new tax regulations. The increased sales statistics for Micromax are at very high levels due to which Micromax was considered to be the second largest smartphone maker in India as of the last quarter in 2012.
