India's exports of electronics increased by more than 47% in the first quarter of 2025–2026: Piyush Goyal

India’s electronics exports increased by more than 47% in the first quarter of 2025-26 compared to the same period in 2024-25, according to Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. Mr. Goyal said in a social media post that the rise in electronics output from 31 billion to 133 billion dollars in just ten years, starting in 2014–15, is a wonderful success story for Make In India.

The government, he said, has established a number of facilitators to make India a manufacturing powerhouse. India now has over 300 mobile manufacturing units, up from just two in 2014, according to Mr. Goyal. Being the second-largest mobile phone producer in the world after starting as a mobile importer has been one of the most amazing adventures, he said.

Furthermore to the minister, the electronics industry has also created a significant number of job possibilities, with electronic components, networking equipment, charger adapters, and solar modules all contributing significantly to the growth of exports.
