India’s electronics exports crossed ₹4 trillion in 2025 and are expected to rise further as four semiconductor plants begin production this year, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
Official estimates indicate that electronics production reached around ₹11.3 trillion, with exports totaling about ₹3.3 trillion in 2024-25.
“Electronics exports crossed ₹4 trillion in 2025, generating jobs and foreign exchange. Momentum will continue in 2026 as four semiconductor plants start commercial production,” Vaishnaw wrote on social media.
Currently, mobile phones dominate India’s electronics manufacturing sector. The industry employs more than 25 lakh people, according to estimates.
iPhone exports from India reached ₹2.03 trillion in 2025, nearly doubling the ₹1.1 trillion exported in 2024, according to a report shared by the minister.
The India Cellular and Electronics Association projects that mobile phone production in the country will reach about USD 75 billion (around ₹6.76 trillion) by the end of this fiscal year, with exports accounting for over USD 30 billion (around ₹2.7 trillion). In 2024-25, mobile phone production totaled ₹5.5 trillion, with exports around ₹2 trillion.
Neil Shah, Co-Founder and VP of Research at Counterpoint, said Apple has become a “poster child” for India by expanding manufacturing after US tariffs on China, with exports from India reaching record highs. He added that India is expected to produce nearly 30 crore mobile phones in 2025, with one in four units exported.
High average selling prices in premium markets like the US, driven by Apple, Samsung, and Motorola, have contributed to record export values. According to the International Data Corporation, Apple supplied a record 50 lakh iPhones to the domestic market in Q3 2025. Apple leads both the premium (₹53,000–₹71,000) and super-premium (above ₹71,000) smartphone segments, driving growth in India’s smartphone market in the September quarter.
