India’s Electronics Production Crosses Rs 11 Lakh Crore, Exports Top Rs 3.25 Lakh Crore: Vaishnaw

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said that electronics manufacturing in India has grown fivefold in the last six years, with the total value crossing Rs 11 lakh crore.

The electronic exports have also seen a sixfold increase over the last decade and now exceed Rs 3.25 lakh crore, the minister added.

Speaking after inaugurating VVDN Technologies’ state-of-the-art Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Line and Mechanical Innovation Park at the company’s Global Innovation Park in Haryana's Manesar on Friday (18 April), Vaishnaw highlighted the significant strides India has made in electronics manufacturing in the last 10 years.

The minister said that the New Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme, recently cleared by Cabinet, further strengthens India’s position in global electronics supply chains.

He added that the scheme guidelines will be issued soon.

Highlighting the electronics manufacturing as one of the biggest success stories of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, Vaishnaw said that the sector now employs over 25 lakh people and is poised for exponential growth in the coming years.

“India now has the talent not only to manufacture but also to design sophisticated electronic products,” the minister said, adding that this gives the country a significant edge over others lacking in design capability.

The minister reiterated India’s commitment to building a trusted electronics manufacturing base, anchored in the protection of intellectual property rights, design-led innovation, and diverse rare earth supply chains.

He also shared details of a three-tier skilling strategy, which includes basic training, on-site product-specific training, and industry-aligned university courses—especially relevant for high capital-expenditure skills in the sector.
