专家表示，在农民工已经开始离开城市之际，降低产量也意味着对人力的需求会降低。但业内高管表示，手机制造部门尚未面临劳工问题。
行业组织印度手机和电子协会主席Pankaj Mohindroo告诉印度经济时报，北方邦、卡纳塔克邦和安得拉邦的工厂目前运行顺利，但泰米尔纳德邦的一些挑战正在得到解决。“在德里，将非必需品运往工厂是一个挑战。制造业处于控制之中。”
“由于需求下降，特别是在5月份，可能会出现库存问题。线下零售商非常谨慎，特别是在病例增加和部分封锁的可能性下，业务运营存在不确定性的情况下，”Counterpoint Research副总监塔伦·帕塔克表示。印度目前有大约六周的库存。
Upasana Joshi，副研究经理兼客户设备在国际数据公司(IDC)印度他补充说，各品牌都提前购买了零部件，以满足2月和3月的高需求，但实际消费者“售罄”相对较低，主要原因是“经济状况受到抑制，从而影响了消费者的购买力，以及主要州的新冠肺炎病例增加，导致情绪低落/负面。”
她说，因此，生产“可能会受到目前封锁和宵禁的影响”。不过，Jshi补充说，这一次，该行业的准备更充分，从2020年的封锁中吸取了教训。

<\/figure>NEW DELHI: Handset makers<\/a> may be forced to cut back on production in the coming weeks with inventory beginning to pile up as demand tapers owing to Covid<\/a> restrictions and as consumers put off purchases amid fears of economic challenges, industry executives and market experts say.Lowering production would also mean lower manpower requirements at a time migrant workers are already leaving cities, say experts. But industry executives say mobile phone manufacturing units have not yet faced labour issues.
Pankaj Mohindroo, chairman of industry body India Cellular & Electronics Association told ET that factories in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are running smoothly as of now but there are some challenges in Tamil Nadu which are getting sorted out. \u201cIn Delhi, there is a challenge with movement of non-essential items towards factories. Manufacturing is under control.\u201d
<\/div><\/div>But market experts point out that the industry is starting to face inventory issues.
\u201cChances are there will be inventory issues due to dip in demand especially in May. Offline retailers are very cautious, especially when there is uncertainty of business operations amidst rising cases and possibility of partial lockdowns,\u201d Tarun Pathak, associate director at Counterpoint Research said. India currently has roughly six weeks of inventory.

Upasana Joshi, associate research manager-client devices<\/a> at IDC India<\/a>, added that brands had bought components in advance to cater to high demand in February and March but the actual consumer \u201csell-out\u201d was relatively low, mainly due to \u201cdampening of economic conditions thus impacting buying power of consumer, and rising number of COVID cases across major states resulting in low\/negative sentiments.\u201d
She said that hence, production \u201cmight get impacted with current lockdowns and curfews.\u201d Jshi though added that the industry was better prepared this time around, with lessons learnt from 2020 lockdowns.
Queries sent to Xiaomi, Vivo<\/a>, Samsung<\/a> and Realme<\/a> did not elicit any response. An Oppo spokesperson said the company's shipments grew by over 20% on year in January-March period but didn't offer any comment on current status of sales and manufacturing.
<\/div><\/div>Faisal Kawoosa, founder and analyst at TechArc<\/a>, said that the consumer sentiment is again shaking and may take a longer time to come back. \u201cThis time unlike last time we don't have cases like education pushing for buying a smartphone. The industry, I see, is worried about component supply and now shaky sentiments add to woes. I see May as a critical month for industry\u201d.

Upasana Joshi, associate research manager-client devices<\/a> at IDC India<\/a>, added that brands had bought components in advance to cater to high demand in February and March but the actual consumer \u201csell-out\u201d was relatively low, mainly due to \u201cdampening of economic conditions thus impacting buying power of consumer, and rising number of COVID cases across major states resulting in low\/negative sentiments.\u201d
She said that hence, production \u201cmight get impacted with current lockdowns and curfews.\u201d Jshi though added that the industry was better prepared this time around, with lessons learnt from 2020 lockdowns.
Queries sent to Xiaomi, Vivo<\/a>, Samsung<\/a> and Realme<\/a> did not elicit any response. An Oppo spokesperson said the company's shipments grew by over 20% on year in January-March period but didn't offer any comment on current status of sales and manufacturing.
<\/div><\/div>Faisal Kawoosa, founder and analyst at TechArc<\/a>, said that the consumer sentiment is again shaking and may take a longer time to come back. \u201cThis time unlike last time we don't have cases like education pushing for buying a smartphone.

Upasana Joshi, associate research manager-client devices<\/a> at IDC India<\/a>, added that brands had bought components in advance to cater to high demand in February and March but the actual consumer \u201csell-out\u201d was relatively low, mainly due to \u201cdampening of economic conditions thus impacting buying power of consumer, and rising number of COVID cases across major states resulting in low\/negative sentiments.\u201d
She said that hence, production \u201cmight get impacted with current lockdowns and curfews.\u201d Jshi though added that the industry was better prepared this time around, with lessons learnt from 2020 lockdowns.
Queries sent to Xiaomi, Vivo<\/a>, Samsung<\/a> and Realme<\/a> did not elicit any response. An Oppo spokesperson said the company's shipments grew by over 20% on year in January-March period but didn't offer any comment on current status of sales and manufacturing.
<\/div><\/div>Faisal Kawoosa, founder and analyst at TechArc<\/a>, said that the consumer sentiment is again shaking and may take a longer time to come back. \u201cThis time unlike last time we don't have cases like education pushing for buying a smartphone. The industry, I see, is worried about component supply and now shaky sentiments add to woes. I see May as a critical month for industry\u201d.
