Over the last few hours, social media has been flooded with claims that OnePlus is shutting down in India or planning to stop operations in the country. As expected, the rumours created panic among users, especially those who recently bought OnePlus phones or were planning to upgrade. Now, OnePlus has finally responded.
OnePlus India CEO Robin Liu has addressed the shutdown rumours in a fresh post on X (formerly Twitter). Liu called the claims 'misinformation' and made it clear that OnePlus India is not going anywhere.
"I wanted to address some misinformation that has been circulating about OnePlus India and its operations. We’re operating as usual and will continue to do so. Never Settle." Liu wrote on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.
In simple terms, OnePlus is operating as normal in India and the brand is continuing business as usual.
Why did shutdown rumours start? The confusion started after a report by Android Headlines claimed that OnePlus could be facing major trouble internally and even hinted at a possible collapse.
"This conclusion comes from a three-continent investigation—current and former employees across R&D, Business, and Marketing at headquarters in China and regional offices in the US, India, and Europe. It’s confirmed by four independent analyst firms whose market data verifies what OnePlus won’t say. And it’s informed by 15 years covering OnePlus and the smartphone industry’s business dynamics—watching Samsung and Apple rise while Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, and LG followed this exact pattern into irrelevance," Android Headlines said in its report.
What does it mean for OnePlus users in India?
If you’re a OnePlus user, this clarification is important. India is still a major market for the company, with a strong base of Nord users and flagship buyers. With the CEO clearly saying operations will continue, it also means there is no immediate reason to worry about things like support suddenly stopping.
So incase you were planning to buy a OnePlus phone during sales, don’t panic because of random rumours. As of now, OnePlus’ official stand is clea -- India operations are running normally.
