A decade ago India assembled little and imported most of its electronics and phones. Phased manufacturing plans, import duties and PLI incentives flipped that: electronics production rose from ₹1.90 lakh crore (2014-15) to ₹11.3 lakh crore (2024-25) and an estimated ₹13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26, and India became the world's second-largest mobile-phone maker.

In a decade India became a major electronics maker. Electronics production grew nearly seven-fold, from ₹1.90 lakh crore in 2014-15 to an estimated ₹13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26, and mobile-phone output rose from ₹18,900 crore to ₹6.27 lakh crore — India is now the world's second-largest mobile maker, producing ~330 million phones a year. The share of phones sold in India that are locally made jumped from 26% to over 99%. The counter shows electronics production.

History
Made in India
The share of phones sold in India that are made in India rose from 26% in 2014-15 to 99.2% by December 2024, and mobile-phone exports rose from ₹1,566 crore (2014-15) to ₹2.60 lakh crore (2025-26). Global and Indian firms now make phones here, and component and semiconductor ecosystems are being seeded.
How it works
India built its electronics base the way many Asian economies did — starting with final assembly (fitting imported parts into finished phones), drawn in by the PLI scheme and higher duties on finished imports. Global contract manufacturers like Foxconn and Indian firms like Dixon set up plants; domestic value addition has climbed year on year as more of the components — displays, batteries, chargers, and now chips — are made locally.
Outlook
The numbers are striking: India is the world's second-largest mobile-phone maker, electronics output reached an estimated ₹13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26, and mobile-phone exports reached ₹2.60 lakh crore. The next target is component and chip localisation — a new components incentive scheme and the semiconductor fabs aim to raise the share of value actually created in India, turning 'assembled in India' into 'made in India'.
