SCEL's initial manufacturing plant, based in Hardwar, Uttaranchal, will supply a broad range of information technology products that will include computers, servers, laptops and peripherals through 25 distribution hubs covering all major states in India. Sahara India Pariwar is one of the leading business organisations in India and a recognised brand within India's infrastructure and housing, aviation and media industries.

Atul Gupta, MD of Sahara Computers says, "This definitely is a unique opportunity for Sahara Computers to enter the rapidly expanding Indian market. Our association with an organisation like Sahara India Pariwar and with the support of top international partners like AMD, Creative, Delta, Epson, Intel, Microsoft, MSI, Samsung and Symantec will enable us to exchange technology and skills and bring out the fruits of innovation between India and South Africa."

Speaking at the launch, Dr Essop Pahad, minister of presidency, Government of South Africa, said India and South Africa had a long-standing relationship and it was further strengthened on Friday with the announcement of a new joint venture company which would bring global quality technology products to India.

SCEL's regional offices in Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad will provide sales, marketing and a quality service management centre to support the brand.
