New Delhi, May 8 - LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. - Tuesday said it is targeting Rs.4.5 billion worth turnover by 2007-08 in the digital audio video segment with the launch of a series of its high-end audio and video products.
'Audio video is a focus category for LG, and we will be spending close to Rs.5 crore - in the second quarter of the current year for marketing these products and aggressively targeting the huge consumer base,' said Moon Bum Shin, managing director, LGEIL.
'We are confident of achieving a turnover of Rs.450 crores - in the digital audio video segment by year end. This translates into a 70 percent value growth in the segment for LG even though the industry itself is growing at a rate lower than 10 percent,' he added.
The new products launched Monday include MP3 and MP4 music players, audio systems for cars and a dual-format high-definition disc player.
While the MP3 and MP4 players are priced from Rs.3000-Rs.12,000, the car audios would be available within a price range of Rs.5000-60,000.
