India PC market grows for 7th straight quarter at 8.1 pc in Q1
According to data from the International Data Corporation (IDC), this marks the seventh consecutive quarter of growth for the India PC market.
Notebooks grew 13.8 per cent while workstations grew by 30.4 per cent. Premium notebook shipments ($1,000 and above) grew by 8 per cent in the January-March quarter while AI notebooks continue to be measured despite witnessing an impressive 185.1 per cent growth due to a lower base.
The consumer segment grew by 8.9 per cent in Q1 2025 driven by Republic Day sales and heavy shipment push in March across channels.
E-tail channel continued its upward trajectory growing at 21.9 per cent in Q1. The commercial segment grew 7.5 per cent with increased demand for commercial notebooks, primarily from enterprises, said the report.
"The consumer PC market had one more upbeat quarter driven by e-tail channel and focused offline expansion," said Bharath Shenoy, research manager, IDC India and South Asia.
PC vendors are ensuring greater accessibility for customers across India by strengthening their offline presence with new brand stores, increasing LFR (large format retail) presence, and offering attractive discounts and cashback deals online.
"While strong shipments indicate positive market momentum, the resulting increase in channel inventory poses a challenge in the near future," he mentioned.
HP Inc. led the market with 29.1 per cent share in Q1 2025 as it topped the charts in both the consumer and commercial segments. In the commercial segment, HP held a share of 32.7 per cent driven by strong demand from enterprises which witnessed a staggering 60.6 per cent growth.
Lenovo stood second with 18.9 per cent share in Q1. Lenovo grew across both the consumer and commercial segments by 36.4 per cent and 33.8 per cent YoY, respectively.

Ather 450S 3.7 kWh with 161 km range launched at ₹1.46 lakh
Ather Energy has expanded its 450 Series lineup by introducing a new 3.7 kWh battery pack to the 450S. The Ather 450S 3.7 kWh is priced starting at ₹ 1.46 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). With an IDC-rated range of 161 kilometres, the new 3.7 kWh version aims to offer longer riding distances without affecting the performance of the 450 platform.

It retains the same sharp styling and LED headlamp unit found across the 450 range. According to the manufacturer, the larger battery does not impact the overall dimensions or ride quality. The company also claims that build standards remain consistent with other models in the series. The updated 450S continues to run on the same 5.4 kW electric motor that produces 22 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 40 kmph takes 3.9 seconds, and the top speed remains 90 kmph. The scooter gets four ride modes, namely Smart Eco, Eco, Ride and Sport, allowing users to balance performance and efficiency according to their preferences. The scooter supports over-the-air updates and has access to Ather's nationwide charging network, known as the Ather Grid. It takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to charge from 0 to 80 per cent at home. The 450S 3.7 kWh comes with a 7-inch DeepView display offering Bluetooth connectivity, navigation and automatic brightness adjustment. Voice control through Amazon Alexa is also supported, but only with the AtherStack Pro software. Safety features include AutoHold, Fall Safe, Emergency Stop Signal, indicator auto cut-off, and theft alerts. The new variant is covered under Ather's Eight70 warranty plan, which promises coverage for eight years or 80,000 kilometres and guarantees a minimum of 70 per cent battery health during the ownership period. Buyers can access Ather's existing service network for test rides, purchase and after-sales support.
