India's Mobile Phone Exports Surge: 127x Increase in 10 Years
Imagine India making lots more phones to sell to other countries.
Ten years ago, they barely made any to sell.
Now, thanks to some special programs, India makes way more phones and sells a lot to other places, like a whopping 127 times more!
The amount of money earned from selling phones has grown to a huge number.
This is because the country started making more phones here instead of buying them from other countries.
Now, India is one of the top phone-making countries in the world, selling lots of phones abroad and creating many new jobs.
India's mobile phone exports increased 127 times in 10 years.
Exports reached Rs 2 lakh crore in 2024-25.
The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme supported this growth.
Import dependence dropped from 75% in 2014-15 to 0.02% in 2024-25.
India is now the second-largest mobile manufacturing country.
