India's iPhone Output Surges to 20% of Global Share
22 Dec
Summary
- Apple assembled $22 billion worth of iPhones in India in fiscal 2025.
- India's share of global iPhone production reached 20% last year.
- Electronics PLI scheme budget increased to ₹9,000 crore for FY26.
India's electronics manufacturing sector has seen a significant uplift, largely driven by the success of its Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. In fiscal year 2025, Apple's iPhone assembly in India reached an impressive $22 billion, marking a substantial 60% growth compared to the previous year.
This remarkable expansion has elevated India's standing in the global supply chain, with its share of worldwide iPhone production now standing at 20%. This achievement directly aligns with the Indian government's strategic push to bolster local manufacturing capabilities through initiatives like the PLI scheme.
Encouraged by the early triumphs in the electronics sector, the government has significantly increased the budgetary allocation for the PLI scheme. For fiscal year 2026, the budget has been set at ₹9,000 crore, a notable rise from the ₹5,777 crore actually disbursed in the preceding year, signaling continued government support for domestic production.
