Dell is planning to launch new PC's in India and China

Dell Inc., the world's No. 2 PC maker, is developing new models aimed at Chinese and Indian consumers to drive sales in fast-growing Asian markets, CEO Michael Dell said Thursday

"This year, we plan to introduce 50 percent more notebook platforms than we introduced last year, including exciting new products aimed exactly at Chinese customer needs," Dell said at a news conference.

Dell says its consumer sales in China grew by 54 percent last year, more than three times the industry average of 17 percent.

Dell's retail presence in China will expand to 1,200 cities by the end of this year, up from just 45 in 2007, said Amid Midha, Dell Greater China president, who appeared with Dell.

Dell shares rose 50 cents to close at $20.01 Thursday.
