India’s smartphone exports to the United States surged sharply in October. Shipments tripled to USD 1.47 billion, marking a dramatic rise from USD 0.46 billion a year earlier.
The jump highlights strong demand from the US market and renewed momentum in India’s electronics manufacturing sector.
Exports to the US also performed strongly over the broader April-October period. Total smartphone shipments reached USD 10.78 billion in these seven months. This is a steep rise from USD 3.60 billion in the same period last year.
The data shows the US remains India’s most crucial destination for high-value smartphone exports.
However, the rise comes after several months of volatility. Monthly exports had dipped from USD 1.65 billion in April to USD 2.29 billion in May, and then dropped steadily to USD 0.88 billion in September.
The October rebound indicates that the sector has regained its growth rhythm and is recovering from earlier fluctuations.
Exports Gain Pace
India’s global smartphone exports also expanded significantly. Between April and October 2025, worldwide shipments from India touched USD 15.95 billion.
This marks a rise from USD 10.68 billion last year, reflecting a strong 49.35 per cent growth rate. The uptick shows India’s growing integration into international value chains.
Industry experts attribute the surge to multiple factors. India’s smartphone manufacturing ecosystem is scaling efficiently.
Production-linked incentives continue to support expansion. Vendor networks have strengthened as major global manufacturers step up investments.
These developments have fortified India’s position as a reliable global production hub, even amid tariff pressures and global headwinds.
The strong recovery in exports to the US reinforces India’s importance in global supply chains.
Officials say India’s cost-effective manufacturing, supportive policy environment and rising production capacities give it a strategic edge.
The growing export numbers highlight the country’s potential to replace or complement traditional supply centres.
The earlier dip in shipments had raised concerns as exports slid for several consecutive months. But October’s sharp rise suggests the industry has stabilised.
The performance indicates regained market confidence and improved operational efficiency among manufacturers.
Overall, the sharp rise in exports to the US, coupled with strong global demand, signals a broader revival in India’s electronics sector. The country is well-positioned to sustain this momentum.
With rising capabilities and competitive advantages, India continues to assert itself as a major smartphone exporter on the global stage.
