Nokia plans to cut up to 3,000 jobs in India as part of a global workforce reduction.

The company reported a 15% year-on-year decline in Indian net sales. This downturn occurred during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Role duplication following a merger of business units also drove the decision. The cuts align with a long-term global cost-saving strategy.

Nokia currently faces weak 5G equipment demand in North America and increased competition from local vendors in China. The company also announced leadership changes within its Indian operations.
