India has been producing mobiles for local consumption for few years now. Sure, almost everything was imported initially. But, recently govt is targeting PLI for specific mobile components like PCB, screen, camera modules, enclosures etc. CPU/SOC still has to be imported though. 10% of apple iphones are already manufactured in India.
