India's Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme Targets Homegrown Brands and Export Growth
India's Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme (MPMS), with a budget of ₹62,500 crore, aims to boost domestic smartphone production and encourage homegrown brands by requiring Indian ownership, patents, and R&D. While India is a major smartphone assembly hub, local brands have struggled to gain market share. Experts highlight that export growth, rather than domestic sales, will be crucial for brands to meet MPMS incentives, given limited domestic market expansion and rising global competition.
