This growth is a testament to India's rapidly expanding electronics manufacturing sector, which has been driven by government initiatives and investments in the industry. The country's smartphone exports have seen a significant upswing, with major brands and manufacturers setting up production facilities in India to cater to both domestic and international demand. As a result, India has solidified its position as a key player in the global smartphone market, with its exports contributing substantially to the country's economy[1][2][3].
