"India is the fastest growing market for Dell worldwide and laptops have emerged as the fastest growing (segment)," Paul-Henri Ferrand, president of Dell APACS, said in a statement.

Dell currently makes desktops at the plant in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, and an official said last month it would raise capacity from the current 400,000 units a year. (Reporting by Devidutta Tripathy, Editing by Mark Williams)
