Samsung will make an investment of Rs 4,825 crore in India. The company will relocate its mobile and IT display production unit from China to Uttar Pradesh(UP). This is the first high-technique project of the multinational major that is being set up in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh (UP) government approved the special incentives to Samsung Display Noida Private Limited on Friday.
