In order to solidify its presence in the Indian consumer electronics
market, leading brand Elista on Saturday said it aims to reach domestic
revenue of Rs 500 crore by the end of 2025 while continuing to invest in
the country and growing in newer categories.
For its plans for
the manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh, the company told IANS that
the plant has an annual production capacity of 1 million TVs and 1
million LEDs.
“The investment in this facility will be phased over
five years. In the initial phase, a Rs 50 crore investment will bring
the plant online by the first quarter of 2024, focusing on TV and LED
monitor production,” Pawan Kumar, CEO of Elista, told IANS.
In
March last year, the company unveiled a state-of-the-art 1.32 lakh
square feet facility in Andhra Pradesh, and committed to invest Rs 250
crore in a phased manner.
“We announced an additional Rs 100 crore
investment for a second plant, dedicated to the manufacturing of Smart
TVs. We plan to employ 500 individuals in the phased manner to achieve
the targets,” Kumar informed.
Established in 2020, Elista achieved
household recognition in just three years. With a presence in 300
cities, the company offers a diverse range of products, including Smart
LED TVs, smartwatches, speakers, and commercial refrigeration.
Elista registered Rs 158.8 crore in revenue for FY2022, followed by Rs 200 crore in FY23.
“We
are committed to make a significant impact with the launch of our
refrigerator and air conditioner (AC) range, scheduled for this month,”
said Kumar.
Elista's new Google TV Series provides an intuitive and personalized user experience.
With
Bluetooth 5.1, Dual Band Wi-Fi, Apple TV, and built-in Google
Chromecast support, these TVs guarantee a hassle-free experience.
Featuring
3x HDMI, 1x RF, 2x USB, and 1x AV In, they ensure effortless
connectivity with external accessories like gaming consoles, soundbars
and more.
The new Google TV Series with segment-leading
specifications comes in four different (32-inch, 43-inch, 50-inch,
55-inch and 65-inch) screen-size variants.
“Our new Google TV
Series and SmartRist Smartwatch range leverage state-of-the-art
machinery, including AI. Rigorous durability testing and analysis of
extensive consumer data allowed us to design products that deliver
best-in-class user experience,” Kumar noted.
Elista SmartRist E-Series brings three feature-packed smartwatches- SmartRist E-1, SmartRist E-2, and SmartRist E-4.
Elista has currently established a presence in 17 countries, with a strategy to extend its footprint to 50 countries by 2025.

ambitious global vision for 2025 is set at Rs 1,500 crore, via a
