Alcatel is all set to make a comeback in the Indian market. The French brand, operated independently by TCL Communication under trademark licensing from Nokia, has been inactive in the Indian smartphone arena for the last couple of years. It is now confirmed to make a comeback and launch a range of new premium smartphones in the country. These smartphones will be manufactured locally in India. Apart from production, the brand is eyeing to build a nationwide service network to ensure customer support.
