It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi maintained its leading position in the Indian market, with a single quarter shipment of 7 million units; Samsung ranked second with 6.7 million shipments; realme ranked third (6.1 million); Vivo and OPPO ranked in the top five with 6 million and 5.5 million units respectively.
Moreover, Xiaomi Redmi India officially announced yesterday that Xiaomi has shipped 200 million smartphones in India, reaching a new milestone. Xiaomi also said that in the past year, it has released 15 5G smartphones in the Indian market, preparing for the 5G era in India.
However, Xiaomi has also encountered some problems in India. In May of this year, Indian law enforcement authorities claimed that Xiaomi’s subsidiary violated the “Foreign Exchange Management Act”, illegally sent money to overseas institutions, and seized about 4.8 billion yuan of assets belonging to Xiaomi Technology India Private Limited. Although it has not shown much impact so far, it remains to be seen how it will follow.
