Combined, these two southern states contributed approximately 64 per cent of India's total electronics exports.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">These figures underscore Tamil Nadu's expanding role in the global electronics supply chain, as both state and national policymakers work to position India as a competitive alternative to China in manufacturing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The surge in exports has been fuelled by increased investment from multinational corporations and targeted incentives provided under India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Of particular note is the Rs 25,000 crore PLI scheme for manufacturing electronic components, which Dr. Rajaa highlighted in a post on social media platform X.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">He described it as a strong endorsement of Tamil Nadu's long-standing strategy to move up the electronics value chain, particularly by expanding into component manufacturing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px">The PLI scheme aims to boost domestic production of critical electronic components - such as batteries, displays, camera modules, and printed circuit boards (PCBs) - to strengthen India's electronics ecosystem and reduce reliance on imports.</span></p> <p><em><strong><span style="font-size:14px">(KNN Bureau)</span></strong></em></p> 41848 https://knnindia.co.in/news/newsdetails/state/tamil-nadu-emerges-as-indias-top-electronics-exporter-with-usd-14-bn-in-fy25 2025-04-24 15:26:58 knnindia.co.in
