New Delhi, Sep 27 (UNI) India’s smartphone exports surged 39 pc YoY to Rs 13,580 crore (USD 1.53 billion) in August 2025, with shipments to United States doubling to Rs 8,565 crore ( USD 965 billion) from Rs 3,444 crore (USD 388 million) a year earlier said a report of India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA).
The report also highlighted that exports typically soften in August and early September as global buyers await new model launches and manufacturers prepare facilities for upgraded production lines.
Moreover, ICEA also explained during this period companies retrofit plants to handle upcoming models, which reduces output and consequently exports.
“Production is also channelled to the domestic market to meet the surge in festive season demand through September and early October.” the report said.
This pattern observed consistently over the past five years, ensures supply readiness for both new models and India’s peak consumption period.
India Cellular and Electronics Association ( ICEA) is India’s Apex industry body representing the entire mobile and electronic ecosystem.
The organisation has played a vital role in conceptualising the Phased Manufacturing Program ( PMP) and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for mobile phones.
