Apple set a new 'iPhone manufacturing record' in India in the first six months of 2025: Trump Tariffs, fears and ...
Apple has reportedly set a new milestone in India in the first six months of 2025. According to a report in Economic Times, the iPhone-maker has reportedly achieved the fastest ramp-up in iPhone production and exports from India in the first half of 2025 ever since it started smartphone assembly in the country in 2017. The move is said to be an attempt on Apple's part to diversify global production amid threat of higher US tariffs on Chinese imports. Quoting market researcher Canalys, the report said that iPhone production in India surged 53% on-year during the January to June period, reaching 23.9 million units. As per research firm Cybermedia Research (CMR), iPhone export volumes touched 22.88 million units in H1 2025, from 15.05 million a year earlier, an increase of 52%. In value terms, Apple exported $22.56 billion worth of iPhones from India in the first half of 2025, compared to $14.71 billion a year earlier as per CMR. "This shift reflects improving yield rates, line maturity, and Apple's growing confidence in India as a core manufacturing base," said Sanyam Chaurasia, analyst, Canalys. Donald Trump's 25% tariff threat to Apple Apple also faces a significant challenge in India as President Trump has warned the company about imposing 25% tariff on imported iPhones if they are not manufactured within US borders. "I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else," Trump wrote on Truth Social in May. "If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the US." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Freehold Apartments in Dubai Starting from AED 675K Binghatti Developers FZE Explore Undo When Apple 'flew' 5 flights full of iPhones from India in flat 3 days Apple transported five planes full of iPhones and other products from India to the US in just three days during the final week of March. The urgent shipments were made to avoid a new 10% reciprocal tariff imposed by US President Donald Trump's administration that took effect on April 5. Apple's US warehouses are reportedly stocked for several months ahead with 'made-in-India' iPhones. Analyst said that stockpiling was aimed to allow Apple to maintain current pricing temporarily. 'The reserves that arrived at lower duty will temporarily insulate the company from the higher prices that it will need to pay for new shipments under the revised tax rates,' a source explained to TOI. In May, the US government later declared a 90-day pause on imposing reciprocal tariffs for most of its trading partners till July 9, which has since been extended to August 1. For India, the US has proposed a 26% tariff. Biggest iPhone manufacturers in India Foxconn (Hon Hai) and Tata Electronics are the leading manufacturers of iPhones in India. Last year, Tata Electronics took over operations of Wistron and Pegatron plants in the country. Apple iPhone 17 series manufacturing has reportedly started in India Apple is now reportedly planning to undertake simultaneous day-one manufacturing of the upcoming iPhone 17 in China and India. Apple iPhone 17 series is likely set for launch in September. Components for the iPhone 17 are reported to have already started arriving at the Foxconn plant in Tamil Nadu. "While not officially confirmed, the volume and type of these imports make it highly likely that trial production or early-stage assembly has commenced, months ahead of Apple's typical September launch window. This would mark a new benchmark with the earliest ever flagship ramp-up from India," Chaurasia said. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

67% of Indian MSMEs show digital readiness, but gaps in skills and awareness remain: CMR study
Two out of three Indian micro, small, and medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are digitally equipped with many of them utilising enterprise tools and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance operational efficiency, according to a new study by CyberMedia Research (CMR). But while digital adoption is on the rise, challenges related to trust and reliability are slowing the pace of transformation for many businesses. The pan-India study, which surveyed over 400 MSMEs across sectors like manufacturing, education, retail, and IT services, found that 43 per cent of MSMEs were proficient in tools like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and cloud computing, and 23 per cent already using advanced technologies such as AI. Despite these gains, many MSMEs remain cautious. The biggest barriers to adoption among growing businesses include a 'lack of clarity on the value and relevance' of digital tools (84 per cent), concerns over data security (81 per cent), and a lack of advanced digital skills (56 per cent). As digital choices become increasingly complex, a growing number of MSMEs are turning to advisory platforms for support. The study found that 62 per cent of MSMEs actively seek digital advisory guidance, often through MSME-centric online communities, professional forums, and peer networks. One standout in the digital advisory space is Vi Business' #ReadyForNext (RFN) program, which emerged as India's most widely recognised MSME-focused advisory platform, acknowledged by 57 per cent of surveyed businesses. Among those who used the RFN platform, more than 80 per cent reported digital fluency across both core and advanced tools, pointing to the platform's role in supporting digital upskilling. Businesses engaging with the RFN initiative reported measurable benefits: 62 per cent experienced improved business connectivity, 37 per cent saw faster decision-making enabled by real-time insights, 33 per cent reported growth in market reach or revenue, and 33 per cent achieved greater operational efficiency. User sentiment was also positive, with 64 per cent of MSMEs expressing overall satisfaction with the platform's services and 65 per cent indicating they would recommend it to their peers. 'India's digital momentum is being reshaped by a growing base of MSMEs adopting technology to drive competitiveness and innovation,' said Prabhu Ram, Vice President, Industry Research Group, CMR, in a statement. 'While the signs of digital maturity are promising, there remains a sizable segment that faces persistent barriers – especially around awareness, skills and cybersecurity,' Ram added. Ram added that initiatives like #ReadyForNext are increasingly being acknowledged for their role in guiding digital transformation journeys, especially for businesses unsure of how to evaluate or adopt emerging technologies.
