India exported mobile phones worth $1.8 billion (₹16,000 crore) in September 2025, according to the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA). It is a rise of 95% in comparison to the same month last year.
Exports slow down in August and September when production is fine-tuned and there are seasonal shipping cycles, but the steady growth over the year is a testament to the resilience and agility of India's manufacturing economy, ICEA asserted.
