Amber is planning to start manufacturing smartphones for Oppo group brands in the March 2027 quarter, beginning with production of about 8 million units. The company expects to scale output to roughly 16 million units in its second year of operations, according to the Business Line report.
Both sources place the plan within the broader competitive landscape of India’s smartphone market. NDTV notes that Vivo and Oppo group brands—covering brands such as iQoo, Realme and OnePlus—hold a combined 45.6% share of the Indian smartphone market in Q2 2026. While Business Line focuses on Amber’s production timeline and expected volumes, NDTV provides market context on the prominence of the Oppo group portfolio in India.
Taken together, the reports indicate that Amber’s planned contract manufacturing ramp-up is tied to the demand and market position of Oppo group brands, though the sources do not provide details on capacity allocations by brand, investment figures, or specific sites for the production start.
