Top mobile makers need to boost India exports: Industry body

New Delhi: The largest mobile phone manufacturers in the world, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi need to scale up their exports from India to meet the goals of the National Policy on Electronics (NPE) 2019, the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) Chairman has said.

The NPE 2019 has set the aim of promoting domestic manufacturing and export in the entire value-chain of ESDM (Electronics System Design and Manufacturing) for economic development to achieve a turnover of Rs 26 lakh crore by 2025.

This will include targeted production for export of 100 crore mobile handsets by 2025, valued at approximately Rs 13 lakh crore, including 60 crore mobile handsets valued at approximately Rs 7 lakh crore.

“Though mobile manufacturing in India has done very well in the past 4-5 years, the exports from the country is very less compared to the major exporters in the world,” ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo told IANS in an interview.
