Market Impact

The exemption of electronics and semiconductor exports from US tariffs supports India's growing electronics sector, which has become a major export category. The positive outlook may boost investor confidence in Indian electronics manufacturing and semiconductor initiatives.

Event Summary

India's major electronics exports are unlikely to see significant impact from US tariffs, as electronics and semiconductor-related shipments remain largely exempt, according to MeitY Secretary Ajit Krishnan. Smaller product categories without semiconductors could face headwinds. India's electronics exports surged to Rs 4.24 lakh crore (USD 47.96 billion) in FY 2025-26, becoming the third-largest export category. The government launched the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) in 2025 and announced India — India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) Phase 2 to deepen the value chain. The upcoming Semicon 3.0 event will showcase India's semiconductor ecosystem.
