    These are not just my words; this is what export-import data shows. In the trade world, electronics exports witnessed a surge, with India exporting over $29 billion worth of electronics annually. In this blog, let's find out who is doing it. Which company is contributing to major exports? And who are the major electronic import partners?

    Why Are Electronics Exports Rising in the World?

    India's electronics export value has almost doubled in just a few years. A sector that was once dominated by imports is slowly but surely becoming a world manufacturing hub. Here's why:
    - Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme
    - Shift from China
    - Competent Talent & State Incentives
    - Rise in smartphones exports
     

    The PLI scheme was launched to promote the production of mobile phones and electronic components. This scheme has lured global giants such as Apple, Samsung, and their major vendors. India shipped more than $20 billion worth of smartphones during 2024–25 alone, with Apple leading the race.

    As international firms seek to diversify away from China, India is emerging as a hot choice. Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh states are competing to provide infrastructure and skilled manpower for bulk electronics production.
