India has emerged as the world's second largest mobile phone manufacturing country, completing a remarkable transformation from a net importer to a net exporter of mobile phones in just over a decade. Mobile phone exports have surged 127 times — from approximately ₹1,500 crore in 2014-15 to nearly ₹2 lakh crore in 2024-25. Mobile phone production reached ₹5.45 lakh crore in 2024-25; exports reached ₹2 lakh crore in 2024-25. Approximately 99.2% of all mobile phones sold in India are now manufactured domestically, up from just a fraction a decade ago. The number of mobile manufacturing units expanded dramatically from just two in 2014-15 to over 300 in 2024-25, creating 1.5 to 2 lakh direct and indirect jobs. Smartphones emerged as the top exported product category in Calendar Year 2025. The transformation has been driven by the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing, which attracted global players including Apple (through its contract manufacturers Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Electronics), Samsung, and domestic brands. India's global share in mobile manufacturing has risen from about 1% to 8%, making it a significant player in the global electronics supply chain. The government has set ambitious targets to further increase production and exports, aiming to position India as a dominant global hub for electronics manufacturing under the broader Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. This milestone positions India competitively against Vietnam and other Asian electronics hubs.
