“Manufacturing smartphones in India is becoming costly”: Apple and Xiaomi tell Indian Government
A mobile industry body in India – the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) has written to the government saying that the cost of making smartphones in India is going up.
2021 saw a rise in the price of smartphones, with some brands hiking the price multiple times over a span of few months. The price hike is a direct consequence of the increase in import duties and taxes on smartphone components like camera modules, power banks, chargers, etc.
In a letter, ICEA chairman Pankaj Mohindroo highlighted the smartphone industry’s woes to Union Minister of State for IT, Rajiv Chandrasekhar.

A plea to lower tariffs
According to an Economic Times report, Mohindroo wrote that the tariffs “were imposed suo motu by the Department of Revenue… [and] scaling back production due to the competitive disadvantage has led to a loss of between Rs 10,000 crore and Rs 15,000 crore.”
In addition, Mohindroo said that the Production-linked Incentive (PLI) scheme runs into direct conflict with a hike in duties. “The PLI scheme is aimed at decreasing the existing cost disability in India versus China and Vietnam but the tariff hike on components will increase this “cost disability.”
