Samsung’s Made-in-India Rise: Exports Soar 25% in FY25, Now Power Nearly Half of Its Revenue

If you have ever heard that India is becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse, Samsung India’s latest numbers make it clearer than ever before. FY25 proved to be a milestone year for the tech giant, with exports from its Indian factories increasing by a stunning 25%.

From smartphones to TVs and home appliances, “Made in India” Samsung products are now exported across the world — and the momentum is getting stronger day by day.

This export boom pushed Samsung’s earnings from overseas markets to ₹45,930 crore, making up a huge 42% of its total revenue. India was once known as a consumer market, but it is now steadily earning its place as a global production hub for high-end electronics.

India Ships Samsung Goods to 70 Countries — Even the US

In a major leap forward, Samsung India has begun exporting to the United States for the first time this year. While the company hasn’t disclosed exactly which products are being shipped, the move itself is a strong vote of confidence in India’s manufacturing capabilities.

And this is just one part of a larger story. Samsung now ships its Indian-made products to nearly 70 countries — including heavyweights like China, Europe, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and the UK.

Even more impressive is the fact that Samsung is exporting to countries like Vietnam and South Korea, where the company already operates massive factories. That means Indian-made Samsung products are not just filling gaps — they are competing with global manufacturing hubs.

Exports Surge, But Domestic Sales Grow Slowly

While global demand for Indian-made Samsung products is rising sharply, the brand’s performance in the Indian market itself has grown at a slower pace. Domestic revenue increased by only 5%, showing that consumption at home is steady but not booming.

Still, Samsung India’s total revenue rose 11.7% in FY25 to ₹1,11,183 crore, and its net profit jumped an impressive 38% to ₹11,286 crore. With a recent GST reduction expected to boost consumer spending, experts believe Samsung could see stronger local growth in FY26.

Growing Stronger: Cash Reserves Skyrocket

Samsung India is not just growing, it’s becoming financially stronger than ever. The company’s cash and bank balance surged from ₹17,300 crore in FY24 to nearly ₹27,900 crore in FY25.

That’s a massive increase, and it clearly shows how fast Samsung is generating money from its India operations. Instead of paying dividends, the company chose to reinvest in strengthening business operations, citing the fast-changing nature of the industry.

Retained earnings also rose significantly, from ₹30,915 crore to ₹42,199 crore, highlighting the company’s confidence in long-term growth in India.

Samsung vs Apple: The Rivalry Heats Up

Samsung and Apple continue their fierce competition in India’s premium tech market. In FY24, their sales were almost equal. But FY25 saw Apple widen its lead:

• Samsung India sales (FY25): ₹65,253 crore
• Apple India sales (FY25): ₹74,680 crore

Apple also exported iPhones worth $17.4 billion from India this year, thanks to its contract manufacturers. Still, Samsung remains the second-largest smartphone exporter and continues to scale up in India with direct manufacturing.

Smartphones Remain Samsung’s Hero Product

Samsung’s filings reveal that smartphones dominate its India business:

• 74% of Samsung India’s sales come from smartphones
• 10%+ from home appliances
• The rest from TVs and other electronics

IDC’s data for July–September 2025 shows Samsung holding 12.6% market share, taking third place behind Vivo and Oppo.

India’s Electronics Revolution Is Just Getting Started

Samsung’s FY25 performance reflects something bigger than just company success — it highlights India’s transformation into a global manufacturing and export powerhouse. With companies diversifying their supply chains and strengthening their vendor networks in India, the country is stepping into a new era of technological leadership.

From generating billions in exports to creating jobs and boosting local industry, Samsung’s journey is a glimpse of India’s growing confidence on the world stage.
