Notably, Samsung's second-largest smartphone manufacturing facility in the world is located in India's Greater Noida. It was inaugurated in 2018, and according to an Economic Times report, the tech giant is the second-largest exporter of mobile phones from India after Apple.

Spread across more than 1,29,000 sq. meters, the Noida factory can manufacture more than 120 million units of smartphones in a year. At the time of inauguration, the company said the new facility would help “Samsung meet the growing demand for its innovative products and services across the country and also fulfil the company's goal of making India an export hub for the world.”
