Vivo could finally be preparing to bring its latest foldable smartphone to India. The Vivo X Fold 6 has now appeared on India’s BIS certification database, suggesting that the company’s plans for an Indian launch may be moving forward.
The foldable was originally introduced in China in June and even after early reports suggested that India could receive the device around the same period, the launch did not happen as expected. The latest BIS certification now provides a fresh indication that Vivo may be getting ready to introduce the X Fold 6 in India.

As per the latest Xpertpick report, the Vivo X Fold 6 has been listed on the BIS certification database with the model number V2559. While the listing itself does not mention the commercial name, the same model has previously appeared with the Vivo X Fold 6 name on other certification platforms. These include Malaysia’s SIRIM and Indonesia’s SDPPI certification databases.
The appearance on BIS is particularly important for the Indian market as it suggests that Vivo is taking steps towards launching the device in the country.
As is usually the case with BIS listings, the certification does not provide any information about the phone’s hardware or specifications. However, the Indian version is expected to retain the specifications of the Chinese model.
Meanwhile, Vivo is also expected to launch another wider foldable smartphone in 2027. If the reported plans go ahead, that device could arrive in India during the second half of 2027 strengthening the brand’s presence in the premium foldable smartphone market.

The Vivo X Fold 6 in China comes with a 6.51-inch cover screen and a larger 8.02-inch foldable display on the inside. The smartphone is powered by the Dimensity 9500 Super chipset and draws power from a 7,000mAh battery. The battery supports 80W wired fast charging and 40W wireless charging.
For selfies and video calls, Vivo has equipped both the outer and inner screens with 20-megapixel cameras. The rear camera system consists of three sensors including a 20-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.
For now, the BIS certification is the latest indication that the Vivo X Fold 6 could finally be headed to India. Vivo has yet to officially announce its Indian launch date or pricing.
