It looks like Indian OEMs have quickly realized that more and more Android/iOS users are switching to Windows Phone platform for various reasons.

That’s why at least one Indian handset maker will bring a Windows Phone handset in India this year. Lava’s Prashanth D Gadiyar, VP, products planning and development, has confirmed in a recent interview for IBNLive that his company is already working on a Windows Phone handset.

Although Gadiyar did not offer any details on the smartphone’s specs sheet, it did confirm that it would be a budget-friendly device, which will probably compete with Nokia’s entry-level Windows Phone handsets that are already available on the market.

There’s a high chance that Lava Mobiles won’t be the only Indian OEM to launch Windows Phone smartphones in India, but it might be the first to launch one. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
