Additionally, Uttar Pradesh is responsible for roughly 15.3% of the country’s electronics exports and around 25% of mobile phone exports.
Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman of ICEA, stated, “Uttar Pradesh should play a crucial role in achieving India’s $500 billion electronics manufacturing target by 2030, aiming for a substantial share of $200 billion. Furthermore, the state needs to engage in aggressive global outreach and contemplate establishing international offices to enhance integration with global value chains (GVCs) and attract major international brands to India.”
