Networking solution provider D-Link said it was planning to set up a testing lab in Goa in India in the second half this year to ensure better localization, reports said, quoting Chairman A.P. Chen.
Besides the testing lab, D-Link will have its own service centre and support system for repairing in the Goa facility.
Presently, the company has testing labs in Russia, which was the biggest market for D-Link until recently, South America, China and Taiwan.
D-Link is also evaluating possibilities of establishing a software development centre in India within the next one year, he said.
"We also have plans to serve markets like Sri Lanka, Australia and Singapore from the Indian testing lab," said Chen.
The company has no immediate plans to set up a manufacturing base in India, as India accounts to around seven to eight percent of D-Link's global revenue and is growing at more than 20 percent annually. However, it hinted the setting up of a production unit in India in there is a certain scale, he said.
In India, D-Link is planning to start D-Link Direct Service (DDS) for consumers so that it would pick up faulty products directly from the consumers' place and instantly replace it with a new product.
Meanwhile, D-Link Holding Mauritius, the 100 percent subsidiary of the company, which holds a 60.37 percent stake in listed D-Link India, is reportedly planning to de-list the Indian arm.
