Press Release Summary = It's expected that Indian PC market will show a growth rate,
which will be double compared to the world PC market in 2007.

Press Release Body = PC market in India will likely grow at 20%, almost double of
global PC market this year, as per Gartner, the research firm. However, the growth
in Indian PC market will be five percentage-points lower in comparison to what it
was last year (2006).

Gartner forecasts that PC makers will ship 255.7 million units worldwide this year,
a 10.5% increase from 2006. Revenue, on the other hand, is projected to increase
only 4.6% to US$213.7 billion, as average selling prices continue to drop.

In 2007, worldwide shipments of PCs are expected to increase 10.5% from last year to
reach 255.7 Million units. On the other hand, the revenues are anticipated to grow
just 4.6% and reach US$ 213.7 Billion with continuous decline in average selling
prices. Emerging markets will play a key role in this growth.

"Emerging markets and mobile PCs will continue to provide growth. However, falling
average selling prices (ASPs), slowing replacement activity, and further declines in
mature market desk-based PC shipments will keep PC vendors under pressure to
rationalize their operations or exit the market," as per George Shiffler, research
director with Client Platforms Markets Group of Gartner Dataquest. The statement
appeared in IndiaTimes Infotech on March 21, 2007.

According to IDC, the Indian PC shipments grew 25% in 2006. Commenting on the India
market, Diptarup Chakraborti, principal analyst at Gartner India, said in a
statement published by IndiaTimes Infotech on March 21, 2007, "The consumer and the
SMB segments will be the major drivers of the Indian market. High demand for mobile
PCs bolstered the growth, overtaking sales in the desk-based segment. In addition,
with a greater focus given to e-governance, the government spend is expected to
propel the market further."
