Electronics Export: China has achieved the position of the uncrowned king in the world of electronics. But India is also not far behind in this matter. Not only this, by 2026, India is planning a big change in this sector. According to the latest estimates of the government, India’s electronics business will ring in the next 3 to 4 years and India’s electronics exports will reach 120 billion dollars by the financial year 2025-26.

Union Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, Skill Development, Electronics and Technology Rajiv Chandrashekhar on Friday said India’s electronics exports will reach $120 billion by the financial year 2025-26 and this will be possible only through partnership of state governments with the Centre. Chandrashekhar said this at the inauguration of Pegatron Technology India Pvt Ltd, a new and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Mahindra World City here.
