India's electronics exports surge 47% in Q1 FY26, led by mobile phones

India’s electronics exports surged over 47% YoY to Rs. 1,08,450 crore (US$ 12.4 billion) in Q1 FY26, up from Rs. 73,729 crore (US$ 8.43 billion) in Q1 FY25, according to the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA). This sharp rise was primarily driven by mobile phone exports, which jumped 55% to Rs. 66,470 crore (US$ 7.6 billion) from Rs. 42,855 crore (US$ 4.9 billion) a year earlier. Non-mobile electronics exports also rose 37% to Rs. 41,981 crore (US$ 4.8 billion), led by strong shipments of solar modules, networking devices, charger adapters, and electronic parts. Chairman of India Cellular and Electronics Association, Mr. Pankaj Mohindroo called it a strategic national achievement and highlighted the growing traction in other segments like IT hardware, wearables, and consumer electronics.
India’s annual electronics exports rose from Rs. 2,54,509 crore (US$ 29.1 billion) in FY24 to Rs. 3,37,596 crore (US$ 38.6 billion) in FY25, with ICEA projecting FY26 exports to touch Rs. 4,02,316-4,37,300 crore (US$ 46-50 billion). Over the past decade, domestic electronics production has grown more than fourfold, from Rs. 2,71,126 crore (US$ 31 billion) in FY15 to Rs. 11,63,218 crore (US$ 133 billion) in FY25. He emphasised the urgency of building a globally competitive local supply chain, calling for the development of Indian brands and champions across the entire value chain, from components to final products, to ensure long-term self-reliance in the electronics sector.
