A few months ago, a UP-based company, Ringing Bells, promised to deliver the world’s cheapest smartphone at ₹251. However, despite receiving heavy bookings the company hasn’t been able to source them as promised and are forced to sell them at a loss of ₹900 per phone. Earlier, the management said they would gain a profit of ₹31 per phone. Sources also say that President Ashok Chadha wasn’t happy with his promoter, Mohit Goel, over financial matters. One official says that Goel now runs the company and Chadha plays a side-role. However, Chadha said that he was never working with the company and was only a consultant.
Last Month Goel said to IANS “We are ready with nearly two lakh ‘Freedom 251’ handsets. We will start delivery from June 30”.
