India’s non-smartphone electronic exports have crossed the $14 billion mark, according to recent trade data. Smartphones continue to dominate the country’s electronics exports but steady increase in non-smartphone segments indicates a wider export base.
Officials link this expansion to production facilities set up under the government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme which has encouraged both domestic and international manufacturers to scale operations in India. Industry analysts note that diversifying beyond smartphones helps reduce dependence on a single product category and makes the sector less vulnerable to market fluctuations.
The development comes at a time when India is positioning itself as a larger participant in the global electronics supply chain. While the $14 billion milestone reflects consistent progress, experts suggest that sustained policy support, smoother logistics and technological upgrades will be necessary for maintaining momentum in the coming years.
