flag In 2025, Apple's iPhone exports from India reached $23 billion, making smartphones the country’s top export category for the first time, surpassing automotive diesel. flag Total smartphone exports hit $30.13 billion, a 47% rise from 2024, with Apple accounting for 76%. flag Growth was driven by India’s production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, Apple’s expanded local manufacturing with Indian partners like Tata, and U.S. tariffs on Chinese electronics. flag Apple operates five iPhone factories in India, supported by a supply chain of nearly 45 companies. flag However, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidating the fentanyl tariffs may eliminate India’s duty advantage, as Chinese electronics could soon enter the U.S. duty-free. flag India still faces an 11–14% cost disadvantage in electronics manufacturing, and the PLI scheme ends in March 2026, raising concerns about sustaining export momentum.
