Is OnePlus leaving India too? This is what the company says

Once again the reports and rumours are hinting at OnePlus is leaving Indian market. And once again the company has declined the claims.

Speculation surrounding OnePlus' future has resurfaced after a report claimed that parent company Oppo is considering major changes to its global smartphone business. The latest rumours suggest OnePlus could gradually scale back operations in several international markets, prompting questions about whether India could eventually be affected.

The speculation stems from a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, which claims Oppo is preparing a significant restructuring of its smartphone brands. According to the report, OnePlus may begin winding down operations in the US and Europe, with the process potentially starting as early as this week.

However, OnePlus has firmly rejected any suggestion that it is pulling back from India.

Responding to the growing speculation, Robin Liu, Vice President of OnePlus India Business, reaffirmed the company's commitment to one of its biggest markets.

A message to our OnePlus India Community

"Recently, we've seen discussions and reports regarding OnePlus in India, and I wanted to take a moment to address our community directly. India continues to be one of OnePlus' most important markets globally, and our commitment to our users, partners, and community remains unwavering. We continue to invest in our products, our services, and the experiences we deliver, with the goal of bringing meaningful innovation to users across the country."

His statement makes it clear that, despite the rumours, OnePlus has no immediate plans to scale down its presence in India. In fact, the company says it is preparing to strengthen its portfolio rather than shrink it.

Liu also hinted at upcoming launches, adding: "In the coming days, we'll further expand our portfolio, including the upcoming OnePlus N6x, making the OnePlus experience even more accessible while continuing to offer products that cater to a wide range of users and budgets."

The report further suggests that Realme, another Oppo-owned smartphone brand, could exit the Chinese market, while OnePlus would continue to operate in China. It also claims the restructuring could eventually extend to other global markets, including India, sometime in 2027.

If true, the move would mark a major shift for OnePlus, a brand that built a loyal global fan base by offering flagship-level Android smartphones at competitive prices. Over the years, it has expanded beyond premium smartphones into wearables, tablets, audio products and smart TVs, particularly in markets such as India.

According to the report, slowing momentum in the US smartphone market and increasing financial pressure have forced Oppo to reassess its international strategy. Geopolitical tensions surrounding Chinese smartphone brands have also reportedly made expansion more challenging. At the same time, Apple and Samsung continue to dominate premium smartphone sales, making it increasingly difficult for competitors to gain market share.

For now, reports about OnePlus' long-term global future remain unconfirmed by Oppo. While the restructuring claims have sparked fresh debate, the company's message for Indian consumers is clear: OnePlus says it is staying put, continuing to invest in the country and preparing to launch more products in the months ahead.
