London, April 26 (ANI): Godrej and Boyce - the last company left in the world that was still manufacturing typewriters - has closed its production plant in Mumbai, India.
The company is now left with its last 200 machines - the majority of which are Arabic language models.
Although typewriters became obsolete years ago in the west, they were still common in India - until recently.
But with consumers switching to computers the demand for the machines started falling drastically in the last ten years.
"We are not getting many orders now," The Daily Mail quoted the company's general manager, Milind Dukle, as telling India's Business Standard newspaper.
