India's electronics exports are expected to expand further due to the semiconductor manufacturing push, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently said.
"Momentum will continue in 2026 as four semiconductor plants come into commercial production," he said in a social media post earlier this week.
Official estimates showed that electronic production reached around Rs 11.3 crore in 2024–25 period.
