India’s electronics exports witnessed a robust 47% year-on-year growth during the April–June quarter of FY26, reaching $12.41 billion, according to data released by the Commerce Ministry.

US Tops List of Export Destinations

The United States emerged as the leading destination for Indian electronic goods, accounting for a significant 60.17% of the total exports.

The United Arab Emirates followed with an 8.09% share, while China held a 3.88% share. Other key markets included the Netherlands (2.68%) and Germany (2.09%).

Officials attributed this wide geographical spread to India’s growing importance in the global electronics supply chain and its rise as a competitive and reliable manufacturing hub in Asia.

RMG Exports to the US Dominant Market Share

India’s ready-made garments (RMG) exports also recorded steady growth.

During Q1 FY26, the sector generated $4.19 billion, compared to $3.85 billion in the same quarter last year.

The US once again led the demand, importing 34.11% of India’s total RMG exports. The UK followed with 8.81%, the UAE with 7.85%, Germany with 5.51%, and Spain with 5.29%.

Officials credited this performance to India’s skilled workforce, a wide variety of product offerings, and its reputation for quality and timely delivery.
