Indian apple production: Cheaper thanks to import relief

India has removed import duties on certain electronic components needed for smartphone manufacturing, including lithium-ion batteries and wireless charging modules, which could reduce costs for companies like Apple. The change, effective until early 2029, aims to boost local production and reduce reliance on imports from China and other countries. This move is expected to benefit not only Apple but also other manufacturers such as Xiaomi. While India hopes this will strengthen its electronics industry and competitiveness, challenges remain, including cybersecurity issues at local suppliers and ongoing legal disputes over app store policies.
