India’s Smartphone and Smartwatch Sales Drop in 2025: What It Means for the Economy

Smartphones once symbolized India’s rising aspirations: mobility, modernity, and middle-class ambition. But in early 2025, that symbol cracked. According to IDC India, smartphone sales fell 6% year-on-year in Q1, while smartwatch shipments plummeted 33%. These aren’t just numbers. They are signals that something deeper is shifting in the Indian economy.

For a country that recently sold over 40 million smartphones each quarter, this drop speaks volumes. Together, smartphones and smartwatches make up nearly 80% of India’s electronics revenue. When demand for them crashes, it shakes not just stores but supply chains, service networks, financing models, and the broader electronics ecosystem.

New Delhi: The government is planning to make adjustments to the production-linked incentive PLI scheme for pharmaceuticals, drones, and textile sectors. According to an official statement, these modifications are intended to stimulate investment and bolster manufacturing. An official source has stated that these sectors were chosen on the basis of their performance under the existing scheme for various products.

Higher disbursement scheme for PLI scheme

The official said, “Disbursement of production-linked incentives (PLI) for white goods (AC and LED lights) would start this month and that would push the amount of disbursement, which was only Rs 2,900 crore till March 2023.”

FDI in India: Unleashing Growth Potential in 2024

Introduction

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been a cornerstone of India's economic growth, driving industrial development, technological advancement, and job creation. As we move into 2024, the FDI landscape in India is poised for substantial growth, bolstered by a favorable policy environment, a burgeoning consumer market, and strategic government initiatives. This blog delves into the potential of FDI in India for 2024, examining the key sectors attracting investment, the regulatory framework, and the strategies investors can employ to navigate this dynamic market.

The Significance of FDI in India

FDI is crucial for India’s economic progress, providing the capital, technology, and expertise needed to enhance productivity and competitiveness. It facilitates the integration of India into the global economy, stimulates innovation, and creates employment opportunities. Over the past decade, India has emerged as one of the top destinations for FDI, reflecting its economic resilience and strategic importance.

Historical Context and Recent Trends

India's FDI inflows have shown a consistent upward trend, reaching record levels in recent years. According to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), India attracted FDI inflows worth $81.72 billion in 2021-22, highlighting its strong appeal among global investors. The sectors that have traditionally attracted significant FDI include services, telecommunications, computer software and hardware, trading, construction, and automobiles.

Key Factors Driving FDI in India

1. Economic Growth and Market Size

India's economy is one of the fastest-growing in the world, with a projected GDP growth rate of around 6-7% in 2024. The country’s large and youthful population offers a vast consumer base, making it an attractive market for foreign investors. The rising middle class and increasing disposable incomes further fuel demand across various sectors.

2. Strategic Government Initiatives

The Indian government has implemented several initiatives to make the country more investor-friendly. Programs like 'Make in India,' 'Digital India,' and 'Startup India' are designed to boost manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and entrepreneurial ventures. These initiatives, coupled with reforms in labor laws and ease of doing business, create a conducive environment for FDI.

3. Infrastructure Development

Significant investments in infrastructure development, including roads, railways, ports, and urban infrastructure, enhance connectivity and logistics efficiency. The development of industrial corridors and smart cities further improves the attractiveness of India as an investment destination.

4. Favorable Regulatory Environment

India has progressively liberalized its FDI policy, allowing 100% FDI in most sectors under the automatic route. This means that foreign investors do not require prior government approval, simplifying the investment process. The government has also streamlined regulatory procedures and improved transparency to facilitate ease of doing business.

Key Sectors Attracting FDI in 2024

1. Technology and Digital Economy

The technology sector continues to be a magnet for FDI, driven by India’s growing digital ecosystem, skilled workforce, and innovation capabilities. Investments in software development, IT services, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cybersecurity are expected to surge.

2. Manufacturing and Industrial Production

The 'Make in India' initiative aims to transform India into a global manufacturing hub. Key sectors attracting FDI include electronics, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy. The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes introduced by the government provide financial incentives to boost manufacturing and attract foreign investment.

3. Healthcare and Biotechnology

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of healthcare infrastructure and innovation. India’s pharmaceutical industry, known for its generic drug production, continues to attract substantial FDI. Additionally, biotechnology and medical devices are emerging as significant sectors for investment.

4. Infrastructure and Real Estate

Infrastructure development is critical for sustaining economic growth. Sectors like transportation, logistics, urban development, and real estate offer significant investment opportunities. The government's focus on developing smart cities and industrial corridors presents lucrative prospects for foreign investors.

5. Renewable Energy

With a commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, India is focusing on renewable energy sources. The solar, wind, and hydroelectric power sectors are witnessing substantial investments. The government's policies and incentives for green energy projects make this a promising area for FDI.

Regulatory Framework for FDI in India

Understanding the regulatory framework is essential for investors looking to enter the Indian market. The key aspects of India's FDI policy include:

1. FDI Policy and Routes

FDI in India can be routed through the automatic route or the government route. Under the automatic route, no prior approval is required, and investments can be made directly. Under the government route, prior approval from the concerned ministries or departments is necessary. The sectors open to 100% FDI under the automatic route include:

- Infrastructure

- E-commerce

- IT and BPM (Business Process Management)

- Renewable Energy

2. Sectoral Caps and Conditions

While many sectors allow 100% FDI, some have sectoral caps and conditions. For example:

- Defense: Up to 74% FDI under the automatic route, and beyond 74% under the government route in certain cases.

- Telecommunications: Up to 100% FDI allowed, with up to 49% under the automatic route and beyond that through the government route.

- Insurance: Up to 74% FDI under the automatic route.

3. Regulatory Authorities

Several regulatory authorities oversee FDI in India, ensuring compliance with laws and policies. These include:

- Reserve Bank of India (RBI): Oversees foreign exchange regulations.

- Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI): Regulates investments in capital markets.

- Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT): Formulates and monitors FDI policies.

4. Compliance and Reporting Requirements

Investors must comply with various reporting requirements, including:

- Filing of FDI-related returns: Periodic filings to RBI and other regulatory bodies.

- Adherence to sector-specific regulations: Compliance with industry-specific norms and guidelines.

- Corporate Governance Standards: Ensuring adherence to governance standards as per the Companies Act, 2013.

Strategies for Navigating the FDI Landscape

1. Thorough Market Research

Conducting comprehensive market research is crucial for understanding the competitive landscape, consumer behavior, and regulatory environment. Investors should analyze market trends, identify potential risks, and evaluate the long-term viability of their investment.

2. Partnering with Local Entities

Collaborating with local businesses can provide valuable insights into the market and help navigate regulatory complexities. Joint ventures and strategic alliances with Indian companies can facilitate market entry and expansion.

3. Leveraging Government Initiatives

Tapping into government initiatives like 'Make in India' and PLI schemes can provide financial incentives and support for setting up manufacturing units and other projects. Staying updated on policy changes and leveraging these initiatives can enhance investment returns.

4. Ensuring Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with local laws and regulations is paramount. Engaging legal and financial advisors with expertise in Indian regulations can ensure that all legal requirements are met. This includes obtaining necessary approvals, adhering to reporting norms, and maintaining corporate governance standards.

5. Focusing on Sustainable Investments

Given the global emphasis on sustainability, investments in green technologies and sustainable practices can offer long-term benefits. The Indian government’s focus on renewable energy and sustainable development provides ample opportunities for environmentally conscious investments.

Conclusion

India's FDI landscape in 2024 is ripe with opportunities across various sectors, driven by robust economic growth, strategic government initiatives, and a favorable regulatory environment. However, navigating this dynamic market requires a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory framework, thorough market research, and strategic partnerships.

For investors looking to unleash the growth potential of their investments in India, staying informed about policy changes, leveraging government incentives, and ensuring compliance with local laws are critical. By adopting a strategic approach and focusing on sustainable investments, foreign investors can tap into the immense opportunities offered by the Indian market and contribute to its economic transformation.

In conclusion, FDI in India in 2024 presents a compelling opportunity for global investors. With the right strategies and guidance, investors can navigate the complexities of the Indian market and achieve significant growth and success.

Why don't you just give in? Pt.2

Fem reader

Pt.1

You

He's looking skinny, or as skinny as a man who's resembled a brick shithouse for the last two decades can be, less toned I suppose more lean. I watch as he turns away, the t-shirt he's wearing allowing for more creases, bagginess. He's forgone his mask, not that he needs it. He needs a shave instead, he almost resembles his Captain with that growth. His dirty blonde hair now sun bleached in parts and his tan somewhat deeper.

You know you want to run your fingers through it, feel the short hairs against the pads of your fingers as your hand moves against the grain. The last time you did that his hands were- My thoughts are both rudely and thankfully interrupted.

“Ohhh blimey you see the lads? Who's that with the scraggly face? The tall one?” I hear Laura beside me. Instantly the table I'm seated at falls into hushed gossip, as they always do when they see the task force. The SAS lads are a common sight around here, but the more specialist unit within it still garners mystique, enthusiastic and borderline obsessive gossip whenever they grace us with their presence.

“Ghost… you really don't recognise him without that rag on his face?” I murmur as I look down and bring my mug of coffee to my lips. Ghost... I still hate that callsign. Nickname. The lore. I mean I know how fucking vicious and brutal he can be. It's not learnt or adaptive behaviour since joining the military. As usual the table descends into the usual gossip, the girls wanting to follow them to the pub they'll inevitably end up at later on. Such is the routine when they land back on home turf, especially since they've clearly been gone a while. Eat, drink, fuck, repeat.

I zone out, leaving the others to continue their usual shite when they talk about the lads. Finishing up, I stand with my tray and head to the tray return carts, Laura shouts and tells me I will be joining them tonight and that it's final. Fuckin’ a! Wherever the lads will be, so will we, the sodding groupies they are. Though it won't take much to be out the way, they're only headed to a pub. No need to dress to impress.

Walking away from my table I steel myself, walking past Riley and his lot. I resist the urge to gob in his food, as usual. I would have done it years ago, but I've risen above that version of myself. I do however afford a quick glance down and I'm met with ochre orbs, his ochre eyes. This time I yield and look away, not wanting to walk into someone with a tray full leftover dinner.

Later I find myself freshly showered, the weather keeps flip-flopping so I decide on shorts with a tank and a hoodie with my favourite trainers. It's still warm and humid enough to warrant the summer gear, but as August stretches through to September there's a chill in the air. I look at myself in the mirror, my hair tousled and low key smokey eyes. I almost feel like I should scrub the makeup off, I'm in my mid thirties, why am I dressing like I'm fifteen years younger.

We all bundle in the taxi for fifteen minutes it takes for us to get to the town centre in Hereford. I listen as the others plan and scheme where the lads are, I give the usual non committal noises they'd expect but eventually I put my proverbial foot down. “Look, I don't want to spend all night with you lot drooling over them. We'll get pre-drinks at The Queen's Arms, some of you will get a quickie I'm sure, and then we should go somewhere better to spend our time.”

I'm met with eye rolls and smirks, it's no secret I'm not enthralled by the lads on the task force, and even under duress when plied with copious drinks I've still not spilt the beans. Finally the taxi pulls over and we hop out, the fare being prepaid since it was a group booking. I stay behind to organise a return journey later before following the girls into the pub. We're met with a wall of sound, almost raucous, as we filter in and find a table. I see Riley actually enjoying himself around the pool table for once.

The sheer amount of parallels neatly spliced into episodes 6 & 7 is making my wee head spin.

The Party Ship 2.0 - only instead of them going into Stede's aristocratic world, this time, it's in the pirate world and Stede goes all the way when he destroys their enemies this time. (1x05)

The Party Ship 3.0 - Stede goes into the Republic like Jeff the Accountant went into the Party Ship and is the centre of attention. Ed murmurs warnings to him about how to handle it, but Stede doesn't listen because he thinks he knows better. (1x05)

It's a fickle crowd, mate - Stede's new friends aren't his new friends at all, just as Jeff the Accountant's weren't his (1x05)

Wee John turning up in a spectacularly dramatic costume (1x06)

Ed as the Human Shield (1x09)

"You've heard of me?" (1x03)

Stede's "Oh God" crisis on the couch after killing someone (1x01)

The Pyramid Scheme reloaded :D (1x05)

Someone who has known Ed/Stede a long time making cutting observations about their life/choices/worth and/or the inevitable doom of their relationship (1x01, 1x09, 2x04)

Ed's "my life is here now" and dropping the leathers overboard (1x01)

Stede being so desperate for approval and validation after an argument with his significant other that he sits down with a bunch of people who will say nice and affirming things to him, even though he knows they don't even know him (1x10)

Stede doing/saying dangerous/violent things while drunk after being lauded by his peers and plied with drinks (1x10)

Stede trying to reuse his amateur tricks in a fight with a much more skilled opponent (1x06)

"your boyfriend" (1x10)

Stede getting his ass handed to him in Jackie's by a woman with a sharp blade all over again (1x03)

Callbacks to Izzy and Stede's encounter at Jackie's (1x03)

Ed choosing to leave his entire life behind to pursue a career that he has the bare minimum of knowledge or experience about (Stede's entire S1 arc)

This is all from one viewing. I'm sure I'll find more on a second watch.

Hiranandani’s Greenbase to Expand Industrial and Logistics Parks in Chennai to 391 Acres

Greenbase Industrial and Logistics Parks, a collaboration between the Hiranandani Communities and Blackstone Group, has announced plans to acquire 211 acres of land in Chennai, expanding its total land holdings in the region to an impressive 391 acres. This strategic move underscores the group's commitment to scaling its operations in Hiranandani Chennai, one of the most promising industrial and logistics hubs in India.

The company plans to invest ₹700 crore to transform these newly acquired parcels into cutting-edge industrial parks, which will add 7.5 million sq. ft. of premium logistics and industrial space to its portfolio. This expansion will bring Greenbase’s total footprint in Chennai to 11 million sq. ft., with an ambitious target to deliver 20 million sq. ft. of industrial spaces across India in the next five years.

“We are in advanced stages of acquiring these land parcels, and the deals are expected to close soon,” said N. Shridhar, CEO of Greenbase Industrial and Logistics Parks.

The new acquisitions include strategically located parcels in South West Chennai’s Oragadam area and North Chennai. Two of these parcels are close to Greenbase’s existing industrial park in Oragadam, which spans 135 acres and generates annual rental revenue of ₹150–200 crore.

Having already delivered 3.5 million sq. ft. of built-to-suit space in Oragadam, Greenbase has catered to a diverse clientele, including sectors like e-commerce, electronics, renewable energy, automotive, and manufacturing. This development highlights the expertise of Hiranandani Communities in creating world-class industrial ecosystems.

Boosting Chennai’s Industrial Landscape

Chennai accounts for 40% of Greenbase’s growth portfolio, thanks to its skilled workforce, business-friendly environment, and favorable industrial policies. The planned expansion is expected to create around 1,000 new jobs, spanning both direct and indirect opportunities, further boosting the local economy.

Hiranandani Parks, a flagship project by the Hiranandani Communities in Oragadam, has also played a pivotal role in positioning the area as a key destination for residential, commercial, and industrial growth. Oragadam’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and proximity to ports and airports make it an ideal hub for businesses across diverse sectors.

Supporting India’s Logistics Revolution

Greenbase’s expansion is fueled by rising demand for Grade A industrial assets, driven by initiatives like the Make in India programme, the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, and the China-plus-one strategy. The company is optimistic about India’s logistics sector, with Chennai playing a central role in this growth story.

This expansion reflects Hiranandani Chennai’s rising prominence in India’s industrial and logistics landscape, aligning with the Hiranandani Communities’s vision of sustainable and inclusive growth.
