India Plans Roadmap for Indigenous Smartphone Brands and Full Domestic Production
The Indian government is preparing a roadmap to launch indigenous smartphone brands within the next two years, aiming for fully made-in-India devices by 2028. This initiative builds on the country's expanding electronics supply chain, with 400-500 component manufacturers and exports worth around Rs 35,000 crore to China. Three to four private companies are expected to develop Android-based brands, supported by advances in assembly, component production, and design capabilities across electrical, mechanical, and industrial areas.
