Who actually makes Kodak TVs in India?

Not Eastman Kodak. In India, the Kodak name on a TV is licensed to Super Plastronics Pvt. Ltd. (SPPL), a Noida-headquartered manufacturer (CIN U25201DL1997PTC089294) that builds, sells and services these TVs. Per its MCA annual return, SPPL has no parent company and one subsidiary (Mountain View Technologies). SPPL also sells TVs in India under the Thomson, Blaupunkt and Westinghouse licenses.
