Apple has reached a remarkable milestone in India with the iPhone exports from the country surpassing the $50 billion mark. The government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme reportedly has played a significant role in this endeavour. The achievement, recorded in December 2025, highlights India’s emergence as a key manufacturing and export base in Apple’s global supply chain. This rapid growth shines a spotlight on how iPhone exports from India are not only driving domestic demand but also fueling global shipments.
Several assembly plants operated by companies like Foxconn and Tata Electronics, along with dozens of other component suppliers, have helped build this export ecosystem in the country.
While iPhone exports from India continue to grow, this milestone also signals confidence from Apple in India’s manufacturing future. The next chapter for Apple in India could see even greater integration of domestic manufacturing with its global business—creating jobs, benefiting suppliers, and increasing innovation across the country.
