HarperCollins is launching a new education publishing division in India which will mark its 'largest ever' investment in international education publishing.

Collins India, as the new division will be called, hopes to provide its first range of books to Indian schools in 2014. 

Colin Hughes, managing director of Collins Education, said: "This major new initiative is HarperCollins' largest ever investment in international education publishing, aiming to open up new opportunities in the rapidly growing market in Indian schools, where upwards of 90,000 schools teach in English."

Collins said that the business will make use of HC's current materials across subjects including English, maths and science, but will also start to develop local content, aiming first to produce books to match Indias Central Board of Secondary Education Curriculum. 

It will also aim to be fully digitally supported from the outset, making partnerships with other platforms.
