Nothing has issued a public warning to customers about the growing circulation of counterfeit accessories and devices in India. The alert comes shortly after the Carl Pei company recently opened its first exclusive branded retail store in Bengaluru. It also transitioned the operations of its sub-brand CMF to India, where it is now a registered Indian entity. The brand has also recorded a strong 32 percent year-on-year (YoY) growth in smartphone shipments during the fourth quarter of 2025.

However, amid this growth, the company says the Indian market is witnessing a surge in counterfeit products carrying Nothing and CMF branding.

Delhi Police Seize Over 1,100 Fake Nothing Devices

In an awareness video, Nothing India Co-Founder and President Akis Evangelidis cautioned consumers about the increasing availability of fake products in the market. He highlighted the scale of the issue and the potential risks that counterfeit devices pose to buyers.

Evangelidis revealed that the company noticed a significant spike in counterfeit Nothing and CMF devices being sold in India last year. While some of these items were nearly identical replicas of original products, others included devices that were never officially launched by the brand. In some cases, counterfeiters even introduced colour variants that Nothing never released.

According to the company, the problem is not limited to offline retail markets. Several e-commerce platforms have also listed fake products carrying Nothing and CMF branding. Some listings falsely claim compatibility with official Nothing devices, further increasing the risk for unsuspecting buyers.

Meanwhile, Nothing has also approached law enforcement agencies across India and is collaborating with authorities in several cities to crack down on counterfeit supply chains.

The video features raids conducted by the Delhi Police in local electronics markets across the capital. These enforcement actions began last year, and authorities have reportedly seized more than 1,100 fake charging adapters and true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones bearing Nothing and CMF branding. The company described these efforts as part of its mission to “identify and dismantle counterfeit supply chains” in India.

Nothing Urges Buyers to Verify Before Purchase

Nothing has advised customers to exercise caution and verify product authenticity before making a purchase. Evangelidis specifically encouraged users to check product ratings and reviews, noting that counterfeit items typically have a very low number of reviews compared to genuine products.
