Panasonic to invest Rs 1,500cr in 3 years


MUMBAI: Japanese electronics goods major Panasonic Corporation will invest Rs 1,500 crore in India over the next three years and restructure its operations here as it aims to take on bigger rivals in a market dominated by the Korean chaebols Samsung and LG. The company plans to increase the share of its enterprise business in India, introduce new products and strike strategic partnerships with Indian business groups like Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries and the Tatas in order to triple its India turnover by 2015, Panasonic's president Kazuhiro Tsuga said on Tuesday.

This comes in the backdrop of the company unveiling a three-year business plan to pare losses in its semiconductors , mobile phones and television businesses globally and push new growth areas.

India though has been performing well for the Japanese firm having doubled its sales. "Having done well in the consumer business, and keeping in line with the new global business plan, we now have a renewed focus on the business to business segment. We are aiming to double our contribution of the B2B segment to Panasonic's overall revenue by 2015 and will be introducing new product ranges in this segment mainly in the energy solutions , security and surveillance systems," Tsuga said. The company will soon enter the IT products segment here. In India, Panasonic drew almost 60% of its $1.3 billion sales from the consumer products portfolio.
