India already has an estimated 1 million BlackBerry users, according to the Economic Times. Informa Telecoms & Media predicts the number of smartphones sold in the market will hit 40 million by end 2015, up from 12 million this year.
Nokia has reportedly also agreed to set up localized servers for its enterprise email by November, WSJ said.
RIM last week blasted India’s strict laws on communications, claiming they would stifle the country’s status as a global business market.
