Micromax Informatics is an Indian multinational manufacturer of consumer electronics and home appliances, headquartered in Gurugram.

The Micromax Canvas Unite 4 Pro had more powerful specifications, featuring a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor with 2 GB RAM.

[22] Running Android Nougat OS, Micromax Canvas 3 allows media sharing and wireless smartphone control.

[25] Micromax started manufacturing LED televisions and tablets at its factory in Rudrapur (SIDCUL), Uttarakhand, in April 2014.

[26] As of August 2015[update], Micromax was set to start a ₹500 crore (US$58 million) manufacturing plant in Rajasthan's Alwar district after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government of Rajasthan and Bhagwati Products Ltd.[27] The first product, to be launched under a newly floated wholly owned unit, YU Televentures, is a smartphone with operating system from US-based Cyanogen Inc. through which Micromax aims to move beyond the business of mobile phone hardware that has become more or less standardised.

[32] In 2024, Micromax Informatics and Phison formed a joint venture business, MiPhi, to design fabless chips with the goal of creating state-of-the-art NAND storage solutions.

[33] On February 17, 2025, the MiPhi introduced the Storm 1100X external SSD, its first consumer product, for professionals, gamers, and creators in India.

The Delhi High Court ordered Micromax to pay royalty amounts to Ericsson based on the percentages of the net selling prices of the devices incorporating 2G and 3G standards.

Around the time that Ericsson filed its patent infringement suit, Micromax filed a concurrent complaint with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), alleging that Ericsson had abused its allegedly dominant position by imposing exorbitant royalties for the use of its SEPs, thus violating The Competition Act of 2002.

[41] However, the High Court lifted the ban, allowing OnePlus One to be sold in India as the licensing deals with Cyanogen are different for both parties.

[42] In early 2015, a Reddit user found adware installing itself stealthily on their Micromax Canvas Fire A093 telephone without permission.

Further investigations by the XDA community found the advertisements were created by Adups, an AdPush company based in China.
