Videocon, which has forayed into mobile handset space, has said that it plans to achieve a pan-Indian presence by end of February and roll out 15 more models of handsets in two months.

Said by the officials, “We will be going beyond soft launches and will aim at having a pan-Indian presence. We will expand our footprint this month and fill in the balance by the end of next month and have pan-Indian presence by end of February. Videocon has 12 models currently; we are not in the black and white space. We understand there is a huge requirement for dual SIM phones and we are looking at developing more phones in that region, we are looking at launching 15 more models in the next two months”.

On the time frame for coming out with the 3G model, he said, currently, it was not possible to ascribe any specific time frame but once the private sector gets access to the 3G spectrum, it would be a matter of a month before the product would be rolled out.
