Diplomatic efforts to pressure Iran to allow Iran-bound shipments through the strait have gathered steam, however, without a definitive breakthrough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Watch this space <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a> <strong>MANUFACTURING \u2014<\/strong> <strong>India<\/strong><strong> is drafting a second phase of smartphone <\/strong><strong>manufacturing incentives that would tie government subsidies to exports and deeper local sourcing<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-03-12\/india-prepares-smartphone-export-incentives-in-a-boost-for-apple\" style=\"\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing unnamed sources. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The plan would replace the current incentive scheme for handsets assembling, which expires at the end of March <\/strong>and primarily rewards incremental domestic output.

Contract manufacturers assembling iPhones account for roughly three-quarters of India\u2019s handset exports. New Delhi is seeking to encourage brands such as Samsung, Oppo and Xiaomi to replicate Apple\u2019s model in India. India will soon emerge as a key source of smartphone and electronics imports for the MENA region. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Beyond assembly:<\/strong> A key proposal under discussion is to link subsidies to the amount of components sourced within India. Manufacturers using locally produced parts \u2014 such as display modules, camera assemblies and other sub-components \u2014 and export finished smartphones would qualify for the highest incentives. This is part of New Delhi\u2019s push to move beyond simple assembly and build a stronger domestic electronics supply chain. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <a id=\"wwtt2\"><\/a> <strong>LOGISTICS \u2014<\/strong> <strong>The<\/strong><strong> first India destined ship to cross the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Israel strikes<\/strong> on Iran carried crude oil from Saudi Arabia and docked at the Mumbai port.
