Due to increased manufacturing and shipments, India will export mobile phones worth $9 billion in the current fiscal year (FY23). According to the Economic Times (ET), this will be a huge increase from $5.8 billion in FY22. Total electronics manufacturing in India will reach $300 billion by FY26, according to the industry association India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA). Total electronics manufacturing will reach $100 billion in FY22, up from $87 billion in FY22.
Phone exports have already surpassed the $5 billion level, nearly double the previous year’s tally of $2.2 billion. Samsung and Apple have offered a significant push in phone manufacture. These two companies account for half of all phones produced in India.
We sat down with the industry early in 2021 to develop this $300 billion vision. One of the primary elements of the target was to considerably increase exports from $18-20 billion to $120 billion by FY26. Mobile phone exports are likely to hit $9 billion this fiscal year, according to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and information technology.
He stated that all states must engage in order for India to become a manufacturing hub. Now, 66% of foreign direct investment (FDI) in electronics has come in the previous three years, and practically every state is fighting to attract capital, he said.
In 2020, the government announced a Rs 41,000 crore Production-linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for smartphone production. Also, Foxconn and Pegatron, two iPhone manufacturers, are based in Tamil Nadu. Wistron, another iPhone manufacturer, has its headquarters in Karnataka. Samsung’s headquarters are in Uttar Pradesh.
