ANSWER
वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्यमंत्री (श्री णिणिन प्रसाद)
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY
(SHRI JITIN PRASADA)
(a) In calendar year 2025, India’s electronics export was USD 47.7 billion, observing year on
year growth of 36.6%. Smart Phone, Populated loaded or stuffed Printed Circuit Board,
Photovoltaic Cell assembled in modules are the major contributors in this growth.
(b) Indian electronic exports have shown significant growth in USA, UAE and China.
Smartphone, Photovoltaic Cell assembled in modules, Personal Computer and populated
loaded or stuffed Printed Circuit Board are the major contributing products in these countries.
(c) To increase exports, reduce import dependency and generate employment, Government
has undertaken various initiatives ensuring development of electronics manufacturing
ecosystem, which include:
a. Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS)
1b. Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and
Semiconductors (SPECS)
c. Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC and EMC 2.0) Scheme
d. Semicon India Programme
e. Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS)
f. Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017
g. Reforms in taxation including rationalization of tariff structure, exemption on basic
custom duty on capital goods, etc.
h. Allowing 100% FDI in electronics manufacturing, subject to applicable laws/
