Apple achieves a new milestone by exporting iPhones worth ₹88,730 crore from India in 6 months, marking a 75% surge driven by the ‘Make in India’ push.
In just six months, Apple set a record by shipping ₹88,730 crore worth of iPhones from India.
October 2025 in New Delhi Apple Inc. has set a new record by exporting iPhones worth ₹88,730 crore in the first half of the current fiscal year. This is a big boost for India’s increasing status as a global manufacturing hub. This number, which is more than $10 billion, is a shocking 75% higher than at the same time last year.
A Major Event in History for Apple and India
The report says that Apple’s smartphone exports from India set record highs, showing that the country is becoming more important in the production of electronics around the world.
Apple supplied iPhones worth $1.25 billion in September alone, which is a big jump from the $490 million it shipped in September of the year before.
This rapid expansion shows how well the “Make in India” strategy is working. Apple’s local manufacturing partners, Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, are all increasing their production capacity in India.
India: The New Powerhouse of Manufacturing
India’s growing export numbers show that it is becoming an important manufacturing center for big IT companies around the world. The Indian government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) programs and good investment climate make it easier for corporations like Apple to make high-value products in India and distribute them all over the world.
Economists say that these exports not only bring in money from other countries, but they also create thousands of skilled jobs, help technology move from one place to another, and make India’s supply chain stronger.
The China+1 Strategy is in full swing.
Apple’s choice to boost exports from India fits with its “China+1” strategy, which aims to spread production out beyond China because of global supply chain risks and geopolitical uncertainties. India is a good place to invest in long-term manufacturing since it has a stable policy environment and a lot of workers.
Analysts say that by 2027, India might make 25–30% of all iPhones sold throughout the world. This would make India Apple’s most important production site outside of China.
Problems with geopolitics and trade throughout the world
The report also talks about worries that came up after former U.S. President Donald Trump warned that he would put a 25% tax on iPhones built outside the U.S. These kinds of risks might hurt trade around the world, but Apple’s activities in India are still going strong, thanks to good policies and tenacity.
The Future for Apple and India
The narrative of Apple’s success in India is just the beginning. The corporation is not only exporting iPhones; it is also slowly increasing the number of items that are made in the country, such as AirPods and iPads. Apple’s operations in India are set to reach new heights in the coming years as demand in India grows and exports to other countries expand.
Experts in the field think that India can only become the next global manufacturing superpower if it keeps making changes, improves its infrastructure, and makes its supply chains more local.
🧭 The End
India’s expanding worldwide prominence in high-end manufacturing is shown by Apple’s record-breaking export numbers. It shows how strategic policies, changes in the global market, and new ideas from businesses can all come together to help both the business and the country.
Apple is growing its business, and India’s “Make in India” concept is no longer just a goal; it’s happening right now.
