PM Narendra Modi Praises Growth In India’s Electronics Exports

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his delight on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), highlighting India’s growing strength in electronics and the country’s commitment to reforms and the “Make in India” initiative, retweeting a post by Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had earlier posted on X celebrating the milestone: “Bharat’s electronics export now among the top 3! Making in India, shipping worldwide.” His post was accompanied by a media report attributing the surge in electronics exports to an increase in Apple iPhone exports from India.

According to the media report cited by Vaishnaw, the export of Apple iPhones has propelled electronics to the third position among India’s top ten exports by the end of the first quarter (Q1) of the 2024-25 fiscal year (FY25). Electronics exports have now surpassed gems and jewellery, with only engineering goods and petroleum products ranking higher. In the same quarter of the previous fiscal year (FY24), electronics held the fourth spot.

Data released by the Department of Commerce indicates that electronics exports rose by 22 percent, reaching $8.44 billion at the end of Q1 FY25, an increase of USD 1.5 billion from $6.94 billion in Q1 FY24. This growth underscores the impact of India’s focus on boosting manufacturing and exports through initiatives like “Make in India.”

The increase in electronics exports reflects India’s growing capabilities and competitive edge in the global electronics market. It also highlights the successful integration of innovative strategies and government reforms aimed at enhancing India’s manufacturing sector.
