Three of the largest Chinese electronics companies in India<\/a> - Xiaomi<\/a>, Lenovo<\/a> and Vivo<\/a> Mobiles - have emerged largely unscathed from widespread anti-China rhetoric and government actions against Chinese businesses since the 2020 border clashes between the two countries.

Computer maker Lenovo increased its sales in India year-on-year in 2020-21 while smartphone makers Xiaomi and Vivo reported marginal fall in sales, according to latest regulatory disclosures they made to the Registrar of Companies (RoC), accessed through business intelligence platform Tofler.

In fact, Lenovo grew its business despite not receiving a clearance from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) to directly participate in government tenders, as it said in its RoC filings.

While Xiaomi and Vivo did not cite reason for sales decline in their RoC filings, industry executives attributed it to the first stricter Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 and shortage of components impacting product supplies.

Market researcher IDC India research director Navkendar Singh said the India-China clashes and sentiments in 2020 had no impact on the sales of Chinese smartphone and laptop brands.

\"If some companies have lost sales, it is due to supply issues and lockdown,\" he said.

Emails sent to Xiaomi, Vivo and Lenovo remained unanswered till Wednesday press time.

As per RoC filings, Xiaomi Technology India - the country's largest smartphone maker - reported 6% decline in revenue from operations at Rs 35,504 crore for the year ended March 2021, while Vivo Mobile India<\/a> posted 1% drop in revenue at ₹24,724 crore. Another leading Chinese smartphone player, Oppo Mobiles has yet to file its FY21 financials.

Xiaomi in the filings said, \"All efforts shall continue to be made to increase the revenue and retained earnings in the upcoming years.\"

Vivo, too, said in the filings that it will \"maximise capacity utilisation with least cost to achieve higher revenue and improve profitability\".
