Videocon to buy Daewoo


India's biggest electronics firm VideoCon Industries signed an agreement Tuesday to buy debt-burdened South Korea's Daewoo Electronics for a reported 700 million dollars.

Videocon had jointly bid with US-based equity fund Ripplewood Holdings for Daewoo Electronics, which produces a range of goods including TVs, air-conditioners and washing machines, and was put on the block by its creditors.
