According to latest data, smartphones led a 24 per cent surge in India’s electronics exports in the last financial year, as handset makers such as Apple and Samsung made the country a global manufacturing hub, reflecting the success of the government’s production-linked incentive (PLI) programme for the segment.
Total exports of electronics goods reached $47.96 billion in financial year 2025-26 (FY26), up from $38.56 billion in the previous financial year. Smartphone exports climbed nearly 22 per cent, led by strong demand from the United States, which imported $19.68 billion worth of devices, an 86 per cent jump over FY25.
Further, smartphones were joined by printed circuit boards, telecom equipment components, and personal computers in driving the full-year export performance.
Additionally, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), China, Singapore, and Hong Kong were among the other key export destinations for electronics goods made in India. Emerging markets such as the Slovak Republic also recorded high growth.
