NEW DELHI: South Korean consumer electronics giant LG<\/a> is looking at making India its export<\/a> hub, banking on good ties between the two countries at a time when its overseas shipments from China<\/a> are declining.
\n
According to
LG Electronics<\/a> India Managing Director Ki Wan Kim<\/a>, one of the main reasons for the company to look at making India an export hub is due to tension prevailing between South Korea and China.
\n

\n
\nAround 10 per cent of sales of the company's Indian arm -- LG Electronics India (LGEI), are currently from exports. Last year, LGEI had sales of Rs 22,000 crore.
\n
\n\"On the other hand ties between South Korea and India have improved. All Korean (companies) have started to see India as a strategically important manufacturing base not only for India but for other areas,\" Wan told PTI.
\n
\nWhen asked if LG is scouting for more global markets for exports from India, he replied in the affirmative saying it is looking for countries where there is little or no manufacturing.

\n
\n\"Already we are exporting from Noida and Pune to Middle East mainly in Saudi and Iran and African countries on (the eastern coast of the continent),\" he said.
\n

\n
\nReflecting on the company's two decades of journey in India, Wan said: \"It is an achievement in itself. We have seen many brands come and go in India. Not only have we sustained but we have become number one here.\"
\n
\nOn LG's success in India, he said: \"We have been able to serve the needs of different consumers here. India is not one country as far as consumer requirements are concerned.\"
