Amplifying Growth
The world’s fastest-growing industry, Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) continues to transform lives, businesses, and economies across the globe. India is expected to become a $1 Tn digital economy by FY26. Currently, the electronics market in India is valued at $155 Bn with domestic production accounting for 65%.
Technology transitions such as the rollout of 5G networks and IoT are driving the accelerated adoption of electronics products. Initiatives such as ‘Digital India’ and ‘Smart City’ projects have raised the demand for IoT in the electronics devices market and will undoubtedly usher in a new era for electronic products.
- At present, India’s domestic production has increased at a CAGR of 13% from $49 Bn in FY17 to $101 Bn in FY23.
- The country's electronics export is expected to reach $120 Bn by FY26.
- During Sept 2024, electronic goods exports were recorded at $3.43 Bn as compared to $2.36 Bn during Sept 2023, registering a growth of 45.69%.
- India ranks 60 in Network Readiness Index 2023, a jump of 7 ranks from 67 in 2021.
- 96% reduction in data cost from INR 269 per GB in 2014 to INR 9.94 per GB in 2023.
100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route. In the case of defence electronics, FDI up to 49% is allowed through automatic route and beyond 49% requires government approval.

Industry Scenario
Electronic exports have become the 5th largest export commodity group as of Mar 2024
With rising per capita disposable income and private consumption, India has emerged as one of the largest markets for electronic products in the world.
Domestic production of electronics is valued at $101 Bn in FY23 and is segmented (basis FY22 data) as Mobile Phones (43%), IT Hardware (5%), Consumer Electronics (12%), Strategic Electronics (5%), Industrial Electronics (12%), Wearables & Hearables (0.3%), PCBA (0.7), Auto Electronics (8%), LED Lighting (3%) and Electronic Components (11%).
In order to position India as a global hub for ESDM, the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing, Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for IT Hardware, Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) and Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters Scheme (EMC 2.0) have been released. Refer to the Schemes for Electronics Systems Manufacturing microsite on the Invest India website for further details.
Additionally, the Semicon India Program with an incentive outlay of $10 Bn was launched with the vision to develop a sustainable semiconductor and display ecosystem in the country. This program will establish India as global hub for semiconductor and display manufacturing, promote self-reliance, strengthen resilience in global supply chains, and pave the way for India’s technological leadership in the industry. Refer to the Semiconductors sub-sector page on the Invest India website for further details.
