Onida eyes Rs 1,000 cr sales in FY'18

Home-grown consumer electronics brand Onida is aiming a growth of 34 per cent this fiscal, touching Rs 1,000 crore sales on the back of retail expansion in non-metro cities.
Besides, Mirc Electronics, which owns Onida brand, is also betting on the new products in the TV and Micro Wave segments to be launched, the company said in a statement.
"Our efforts for the last three years have finally paid off and we were very successful in expanding our dealer network in the last three years," Mirc Electronics MD Vijay Mansukani said.
Mirc Electronics had reported revenues of Rs 748 crore in 2016-17.

"This (the expansion) is going to give us the growth of 34 per cent during the current year, which will take company's revenues to Rs 1,000 crore," Mansukani added.
