  1. India’s share in US smartphone imports jumped to 44% in Q2 2025 from 13% a year earlier, overtaking China whose share dropped to 25%.

  2. Government initiatives such as Make in India and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme have fueled growth, enhancing India’s electronics manufacturing capabilities.

  3. Over the past decade, India’s mobile phone production rose to Rs. 5.45 lakh crore, exports surged to Rs. 2 lakh crore, and import dependency fell drastically to 0.02%.

India has emerged as a global leader in smartphone exports, surpassing China in the United States (US) during Q2 2025, according to research firm Canalys, as cited by the Press Information Bureau (PIB). In this period, the share of Made in India smartphones in US imports jumped to 44%, a significant rise from 13% a year earlier, while China’s share fell from 61% to 25%, marking a historic milestone for India’s electronics sector.

This achievement reflects the successful implementation of government initiatives such as Make in India and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which have accelerated domestic manufacturing, reduced import dependency, and strengthened India’s position as a global electronics manufacturing hub.

India’s electronics and mobile manufacturing industry has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. Between 2014-15 and 2024-25, total electronics exports increased from Rs. 38,000 crore (US$ 4.35 billion) to Rs. 3,27,000 crore (US$ 37.47 billion). Mobile phone production alone surged from Rs. 18,000 crore (US$ 2.06 billion) to Rs. 5,45,000 crore (US$ 62.44 billion). Exports of mobile phones witnessed a 127-fold jump, reaching Rs. 2,00,000 crore (US$ 22.91 billion).

The number of production units expanded from just two in 2014-15 to 300 by 2024-25, signaling a massive scaling-up of manufacturing infrastructure. Simultaneously, India’s import dependency fell sharply from 75% to just 0.02%, highlighting the country’s strengthened electronics manufacturing ecosystem.

This rapid growth has positioned India as a critical supplier of smartphones to the US, boosting global confidence in Indian manufacturing capabilities. Analysts note that sustained policy support, skilled workforce availability, and robust supply chain development have played a pivotal role in transforming India into a global mobile manufacturing hub, capable of competing with traditional leaders like China.

As India continues to consolidate its position in the electronics and smartphone export sector, the country is expected to further increase its share in the global mobile phone market, contributing to higher economic growth, job creation, and strengthening its strategic trade partnerships worldwide.
