India has implemented a ₹62,500-crore Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme (MPMS) to transition the electronics industry from simple assembly to high-value manufacturing of components like batteries and camera modules. Effective April 1, 2026, the five-year policy offers sales incentives between 2.25% and 5%, with additional support for domestic sourcing and R&D. Analysts suggest that export growth will be the primary driver for companies to meet the scheme’s 15% annual sales growth target. This policy builds upon a period of significant sector expansion. Between 2014 and 2026, the number of manufacturing units in India grew from two to over 300. During this timeframe, mobile phone production value rose from approximately ₹18,000 crore to roughly ₹6.27 lakh crore, while exports increased from ₹1,500 crore to approximately ₹2.60 lakh crore. This growth has been attributed to government initiatives such as the ‘Make in India’ program and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-29: India mobile manufacturing expands to over 300 units by 2026 India’s mobile manufacturing sector has grown from two factories in 2014 to over 300 by 2026, with production value reaching ₹6.27 lakh crore and exports surging to ₹2.60 lakh crore. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/india-mobile-manufacturing-expands-to-over-300-units-by-2026 ### 2026-08-25: India launches ₹62,500-crore mobile phone manufacturing scheme India has launched a ₹62,500-crore Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme to boost local component sourcing and R&D, with experts suggesting exports will be vital to meeting growth targets. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/india-launches-62500-crore-mobile-phone-manufacturing-scheme --- Cite as: India mobile phone manufacturing expansion.
