New Delhi, Jan 12 || For the first time since domestic production began in 2021, US tech giant Apple Inc’s iPhone exports from India crossed Rs 2 lakh crore in 2025, as per industry data.
Exports of the tech company in January–December 2025 reached a record $23 billion or Rs 2.03 lakh crore, up nearly 85 per cent over 2024 exports.
Around three months remain before Apple’s five‑year PLI window ends. Under the production-linked incentive scheme (PLI), Apple’s focus in India had been expansion of the iPhones exports.
In the first nine months of FY26, iPhone exports stood at nearly $16 billion, pushing cumulative shipments during the PLI period beyond the $50‑billion mark.
By comparison, Samsung exported devices worth around $17 billion during its five‑year eligibility period under the scheme from FY21 to FY25.
