OPPO led the 'Make in India' smartphone shipments with a 24% share, followed by Samsung and Vivo. Lava led the feature phone shipments with 21% share.

"Also, we may see disbursement of PLI incentives during Q3 2022, which will further boost the local manufacturing sentiments," said the report. Optiemus leads the Made in India shipments for smartwatches with more than 75% share.

In the wearable segment, TWS led in terms of domestic manufacturing with a 16% contribution, followed by neckbands and smartwatches. In TWS, Optiemus, Bharat FIH and Padget are the top three manufacturers.
