Government of India is actively promoting the growth of the indigenous electronics industry with the aim to broaden and deepen the country's electronic manufacturing ecosystem as well as increase India's participation in electronics Global Value Chains (GVCs). Government of India has implemented several measures/initiatives to enhance domestic capabilities, reduce import dependence and position India as a global hub for electronics production.

As a result of this electronics production has grown from INR 1,90,366 crores in FY 2014-15 to INR 9,52,000 crores in FY2023-24 with compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') of about 17.5%. We have now reached a stage where 99.2% of mobile handsets being used in India are made in India and we have become a mobile exporting country in exports in FY 2022-23 as compared to mobile importing country in FY 2014-15 when almost 74% of all mobile phones sold  in  India  were  imported.  Details  are  placed  at Annexure. As  per  industry  estimates, approximately 25 lakhs employment (direct and indirect) has been generated in the electronics sector.
