India’s government and electronics industry leaders are aligning on strategies to hit a $150 billion electronics exports target by 2030, with policy stability and global value chain integration emerging as critical drivers. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal underscored the need for export-oriented manufacturing frameworks distinct from domestic-focused policies during the Chintan Shivir.
Policy and Global Value Chains: The $150B Path
Global value chains dominate 90% of electronics trade, and stakeholders emphasized integrating MSMEs into these networks to scale as suppliers for major manufacturers. The discussions also highlighted harmonizing HS Codes and improving Customs coordination to reduce misclassification and streamline exports.
Industry Participation and Key Players
Senior officials from the Commerce Ministry, state governments, and industry bodies joined the dialogue, alongside major players like Apple, Samsung, Foxconn, and Tata Electronics. The forum addressed both opportunities and challenges in deepening India’s role in global electronics supply chains.
Presentations at the Chintan Shivir outlined India’s roadmap to the 2030 target, with actionable policy recommendations aimed at balancing stakeholder interests. The focus remains on creating a predictable environment for export-led growth.
