 Chennai: The Indian unit of Chinese personal computer (PC) maker Lenovo Group Ltd? has emerged as the lowest bidder for providing laptops to the Tamil Nadu government, which aims to give away 906,000 of the machines to students of state-aided colleges and high schools this fiscal year to fulfil a pre-election pledge by Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.
Lenovo India Pvt. Ltd quoted a price of Rs13, 939 per laptop, around Rs10, 000 lower than the retail price, as it seeks to increase market share in a country where it ranks number four among PC makers.
Lenovo India managing director R.K. Amar Babu, while not denying the company had emerged as the lowest bidder, declined to discuss price and quantity.
"We are still some time away from the actual order," he said. "Discussions are on with vendors about price and quantity."
