India produces 97% of its total mobile phone demand locally: ICEA

India produces 97% of its total mobile phone demand locally: ICEA

The Hindu
Sunday, March 10, 2024 12:53 PM GMT

Mobile phone manufacturing in India skyrockets due to government policies, leading to increased exports and self-sufficiency.

Mobile phone manufacturing in value terms jumped 21-fold to ₹4.1 lakh crore in India in the last 10 years as government policy measures like the PLI scheme played a critical role in attracting global players to boost local production, industry body India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) said in a statement.

India now produces 97% of its total mobile phone demand locally and 30% of the total production in the financial year 2024 is meant for export, it said.

"Mobile phone production surged from ₹18,900 crore in 2014-15 to an estimated ₹4,10,000 crore in FY24, registering an increase of 2,000%. In 2014-15, mobile phone exports from India were a mere ₹1,556 crore. The industry expects to end FY24 with an estimated export ₹Rs 1,20,000 crore. This would mean a 7,500% increase in exports over a decade," ICEA said.

According to a note on manufacturing, in the field of smartphones, Apple and Samsung, have played a crucial role in boosting mobile phone exports from the country.

Devices manufactured in India are exported to the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Austria, and Italy, the note said, adding that these devices were exported to West Asia, North Africa and South American markets.

"30% of production in FY24 will now be meant for exports. The industry expects to end FY24 with an estimated export of ₹1.2 lakh crore. Driven by this export growth, mobile phones have now become India's fifth largest export as an individual commodity," the industry body said.

In May 2017, the Indian government announced the Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) to promote the domestic production of mobile handsets. This initiative helped build a robust indigenous mobile manufacturing ecosystem in India and incentivized large-scale manufacturing. From just two mobile phone factories in 2014, India now has become the second-largest mobile phone producer in the world.
