India's non-smartphone electronics exports cross Rs. 1,21,870 crore (US$ 14 billion) mark in FY25

India’s electronics exports recorded strong growth in FY25, reaching Rs. 3,35,752 crore (US$ 38.57 billion), a 32.47% increase from the previous year, according to the Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council (ESC). Of this, non-smartphone electronics contributed over Rs. 1,21,870 crore (US$ 14 billion), underscoring the growing strength of India’s diversified electronics industry. Solar panels, telecom equipment, medical electronics, batteries, and digital processing units were major contributors, with rectifiers, inverters, and chargers alone generating more than Rs. 21,763 crore (US$ 2.5 billion). Photovoltaic cells earned Rs. 9,750 crore (US$ 1.12 billion), telecom equipment added Rs. 12,187 crore (US$ 1.4 billion), medical electronics accounted for Rs. 3,482 crore (US$ 400 million), while PCs and digital processing units contributed Rs. 7,051 crore (US$ 810 million). Electronics now account for 9% of India’s overall merchandise exports, up from 6.73% in FY24, marking what ESC described as a strategic inflection point for India’s technology sector. Chairman of Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council, Mr. Sandeep Narula, emphasised the resilience, innovation, and global ambition of Indian exporters in navigating tariff pressures and shifting trade dynamics.
Strong performances at the state level further bolstered the export growth. Tamil Nadu led with Rs. 1,27,528 crore (US$ 14.65 billion) in exports, followed by Karnataka at Rs. 67,899 crore (US$ 7.8 billion), Uttar Pradesh at Rs. 45,788 crore (US$ 5.26 billion), Maharashtra at Rs. 30,468 crore (US$ 3.5 billion), and Gujarat at Rs. 16,104 crore (US$ 1.85 billion). ESC highlighted that India’s expanding semiconductor ecosystem is also playing a pivotal role, supported by the government’s approval of four new chip-making units in Odisha, Punjab, and Andhra Pradesh worth Rs. 4,579 crore (US$ 526 million). These complement mega projects such as Micron’s Rs. 22,516 crore (US$ 2.59 billion) ATMP facility in Gujarat and Tata Electronics’ Rs. 91,000 crore (US$ 10.45 billion) fab in Dholera. The recently launched Electronic Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) is expected to strengthen supply chains further and reduce import dependence. Executive Director, ESC, Mr. Gurmeet Singh, noted that India is firmly on track to achieve its Rs. 17,41,000 crore (US$ 200 billion) electronics export target by 2030, driven by production-linked incentives, duty rationalisation, skilling initiatives, and Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) support, signalling a long-term structural shift in India’s technology manufacturing landscape.
