The Ashwini Vaishnaw Minister has said that the iPhones only represented ₹ 1.5 Lakh Crore in exports in the smartphone segment.
The reciprocal rates regime announced by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, had raised concerns about Apple’s iPhone production plan in China and India.
However, in a relief for the sector, the Trump administration on Saturday (according to the Indian Standard Time) said they exclude electronics as smartphones and laptops of reciprocal tariffs imposed on China and other countries. Moving can help maintain low prices for popular electronic consumption products that are generally not performed in the US.
Customs and border protection of the United States said that articles such as smartphones, laptops, hard drives, flat panel monitors and some chips would qualify for the exemption. The machines used to make semiconductors are also excluded. That means that they will not be subject to current 145% rates collected in China or 10% reference rates in other places.

“Tensions and uncertainties continued underlying can lead global players to diversify their manufacturing base, creating a timely opportunity for India to emerge as a favorite alternative. Despite the cushion of the Robins in the short term Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Robins Rod
He said that with the US, importing more than $ 250 billion in smartphones and computer products, “30% of which currently come from China, India, with exports currently at $ 12 billion, it still has a space to grow significant.”
“As such, for Indian companies, this is a vital window to expand operations, reorient strategies and strengthen their position in global electronics value chains. To realize this potential, India must double the competitive advantages,” sustainable “, sustainable. Chandak said.
According to industry analysts, while exemptions generate relief for the main technology actors, the change in the position will lead global investors to forge a long -term strategy for stability in business and investments where India has China treaties.

The vice president of Research for Research for Counterpoint, Neil Shah, said he believes that moving the manufacturing and supply chains to the USA. Uu. When collecting higher rates it is not practical and, in turn, the most valuable American and Othidia and Othidia companies.
“Bringing back the manufacture of smartphones, iPhones, it will be a marathon, not a sprint if the United States government is serious about it. And, if it is really serious, it could mean that now it is not the time and willing to be very different”, “power”, “could”, “much”, “Shah said.
