Mobile phone exports from India crossed nearly $ 11.12 billion with iPhone maker Apple accounting for around half of the total exports, as per reports by industry body ICEA and estimates from industry sources. India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) said that mobile phones export from India have doubled to surpass Rs 90,000 crore, about $ 11.12 billion, in the financial year (FY) 2022-23 from Rs 45,000 crore in FY22.
"No economy or sector in the economy can become a great and vibrant global economy without large exports. The mobile phone export juggernaut continues. Riding on the 100 per cent growth in mobile phone exports, which have crossed Rs 90,000 crore for fiscal year 2022-23, electronics exports have also grown by 58 per cent to Rs 1,85,000 crore. It is extremely satisfying that we have crossed the targeted figure of Rs 75,000 crore for the year."
ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo said. The government has set a target of $ 10 billion worth of mobile phone exports from the country. According to industry sources, Apple is estimated to have clocked 50% share with export of 'made in India' iPhones worth $ 5.5 billion, about Rs 45,000 crore. Sources estimate that Samsung accounts for about 40 per cent share with export worth Rs 36,000 crore.
