Vivo and Oppo were started by China’s BBK electronics but the companies claim to have independent operations. Oppo smartphones are also produced at Vivo’s manufacturing unit in Noida, for sale in India.
Vivo has faced action from the enforcement directorate, while Oppo has faced action from the department of revenue intelligence on tax issues.
Vivo is planning to shift part of its production in India to a JV company with Dixon technologies. Oppo moving to Amber is a sign of Chinese smartphone brands moving towards asset-light models by reducing their manufacturing exposure in India.
Vivo is leading the Indian smartphone market in terms of sales with 17.8 per cent share, followed by Samsung with 17.6 per cent, and Oppo at third spot with 13.6 per cent share during the second quarter of 2026, according to Counterpoint Research.
Vivo and Oppo smartphone group brands including iQoo, Realme, and OnePlus jointly garnered 45.6 per cent of Indian market share in Q2, 2026.
Talking about the PCB shortage, Singh said that there has been compression in the margin of the company due to increase in prices of copper-clad laminates (CCL) because of supply-chain constraints. He said the company may pass some rise in cost to clients with a lag. The company expects to set-up a CCL plant by 2029-30, he added.
