India Plans Indigenous Smartphone Brands with Roadmap Expected Soon
The Indian government plans to launch indigenous mobile phone brands within two years, leveraging the country's expanding electronics supply chain. A roadmap is expected soon, with three to four private companies developing Android-based smartphones. India's component ecosystem has grown to include 400-500 manufacturers, exporting parts worth around Rs 35,000 crore to China. The initiative builds on progress in assembly, components, and design capabilities, aiming to establish a full smartphone value chain domestically.
