NEW DELHI: Shipments of Made in India smartphones grew 15 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in the April–June quarter of 2025 (Q1 FY26), boosted by a 32 per cent surge in exports and an 8 per cent rise in domestic sell-in, a new report said on August 29. According to Counterpoint Research’s latest ‘Make in India Tracker’, Dixon Technologies emerged as the country’s largest smartphone manufacturer by shipments for the first time, recording an impressive 196 per cent annual growth.
The company climbed from sixth place a year ago, supported by rising orders from Motorola, Transsion brands, Xiaomi and realme. Foxconn Hon Hai secured the second spot with 71 per cent growth, driven by strong iPhone exports.
Bhagwati Products Limited (BPL), which produces devices for vivo and OPPO, entered the top five manufacturers for the first time and became the fastest-growing player, with production crossing 2 million units per month. Tata also reported steady gains, led by both domestic and export demand.
Senior Research Analyst Prachir Singh said Indian EMS (electronics manufacturing services) players are now playing a bigger role as global and Chinese smartphone brands increasingly outsource production to them. “Going forward, we expect the EMS landscape to expand in India, with local manufacturers benefiting. The government’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme and partnerships with global ODMs will be crucial for the growth of the electronics manufacturing supply chain,” he noted.
