One thing is sure China will lose Indian smartphone market soon. Samsung and Apple has started local manufacturing in India already

 

[Chhatrapati]

There should be more players for healthy competition, it's good to see Micromax and others entering with good phones, it did force some Chinese phones to reduce the price on their phones iPhone prices have reduced a bit with local assembly. Overall it's good.

Look at electronics imports ,its significant for any developing country to manufacture electronics to sustain the digital age.
Electronics is the Oil of 21st century.

We should try to boost our semiconductor industry anyhow it will become a gamechanger for our economy.

Of course, I see a bright future for India as next global manufacturing hub.

Oil of 21st century is data this is why we see every big company including our Ambani go big on it , data combined with AI is the next big thing but I agree manufacturing electronics locally is needed , we are 10-12 years late there

 

[Capt. Karnage]

We need such manufacturing industries as the conventional jobs are at the risk of being replaced by the AI. Even in my company many processes have been automated.

So it is safe to say in 5 years Indians will buy mostly non-Chinese brand phones ?

That's too much. In 5 years, there will be only two major smartphone making countries in the world - Viet Nam and India.

Even lesser. My samsung mobile was manufactured in Vietnam and now we have a Samsung manufacturing plant here in Noida too.

We'll break India before that.

I doubt India will build from scratch, they will still buy most of the parts from China considering this Indian scheme will even work.

Those who can't build nor have the capability to do so, seek to destroy.☺

Yeah you surely will; in your wet dreams in the meantime apply some burnol to was your pain.

Not really Tata has established 5000 crore facility to manufacture smartphone components.
