2026 National Subsidy Wave 2 Is Here: Save 10% on Phones & Appliances
Listen up everyone, this subsidy wave is legit.
The second batch of 62.5 billion yuan in subsidies officially landed April 10, 2026. Phones, appliances, ACs, computers all eligible—save up to 10%.
Here’s the key: applying is way easier than the January wave—online or offline, simplified process, stackable with platform deals.
I spent an afternoon figuring this out completely. Let me tell you how to save the most.
Key Points First
Several important changes this time:
- Total 250 billion yuan for the year, split into 4 batches. Second batch of 62.5 billion arrived in April.
- 29 provinces and cities restored application channels (some paused in January).
- Valid until December 31, 2026—no rush to expire.
- Stackable with platform deals and trade-ins—double savings.
How to Apply?
Simplest method: Open JD app, search “国补001”, jump straight to the application portal.
Or go to offline stores, scan to apply directly—staff will help.
My personal experience: way simpler than January. No lengthy forms—just ID + phone number.
How Much Can You Save?
Subsidy is generally 10%, with caps:
- Phones: up to 1000 yuan subsidy
- ACs: up to 800 yuan
- Fridges: up to 600 yuan
- Computers: up to 1000 yuan
- TVs: up to 800 yuan
That’s just the subsidy. Stack with platform deals and trade-ins—save even more.
Pitfall Warnings
Don’t rush to order—apply for subsidy qualification first.
Many platforms let you order first, then apply for subsidy—only to find quotas exhausted.
Correct process: Apply for qualification → Order → Subsidy auto-deducts.
Also, not all products qualify—look for “国补” label on product pages.
My Advice
If you need to replace your phone, buy AC, or get appliances—now’s the best time.
National subsidy + platform promos + trade-ins—triple savings stack up.
But if you’re not in a hurry, wait for 618—platform promos will be bigger.
However, subsidy quotas are limited—first come, first served.
So tested and true—don’t wait, apply first.
