India’s manufacturing industry is entering a new phase with rapid growth in electronics production. The country’s electronics manufacturing has grown sevenfold to reach INR 13 lakh crore.
Global companies are also expanding their manufacturing operations across India. Google is reportedly looking to deepen Pixel smartphone production in the country.
Samsung has opened a new Pune facility for AI data center cooling systems. These developments show India’s growing role in global electronics manufacturing.
They are also creating opportunities for investment, exports, local suppliers and jobs. Together, these moves highlight the changing face of India’s technology manufacturing sector.
India’s electronics manufacturing has grown sevenfold over the past 12 years. Electronics production has now reached INR 13 lakh crore, according to Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Electronics exports have also crossed INR 4 lakh crore. The growth highlights India’s rising position in global electronics production.
Google could deepen its smartphone manufacturing operations in India. Reports suggest the company may move all Pixel production out of China by 2027. India could become a key production hub for the company. The move could further strengthen India’s growing smartphone manufacturing base.
“Google is moving Pixel manufacturing beyond China as part of its China+1 strategy, with Vietnam and India becoming key manufacturing hubs. India has an advantage because smartphone manufacturing and exports are already well established, with Apple exporting iPhones to the US, UK and other markets. Vietnam remains a strong competitor, with Google also expanding its manufacturing capacity there,” said Prachir Singh, Senior Analyst at Counterpoint Research.
Samsung’s FläktGroup has expanded its manufacturing presence in India with a new facility in Pune. The plant will produce cooling systems for AI data centers. The facility comes as demand for data centers continues to grow. It also highlights new manufacturing opportunities linked to India’s expanding technology infrastructure.
Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Digital Appliance Business, Samsung Electronics, said the new production line marks an important step in expanding HVAC manufacturing beyond India and serving the wider Asia-Pacific market.

India’s electronics growth is also changing its role in global supply chains. More global companies are looking at India for manufacturing and exports. However, China remains important for components and other manufacturing inputs. This makes India-China supply chain ties important for the electronics industry.
The manufacturing industry is expanding beyond traditional electronics production. The sector now includes smartphones, components, data center equipment and other technology products. This wider ecosystem could create several opportunities for India.
The biggest opportunity lies in building a complete electronics ecosystem. This would include manufacturing, components, suppliers, technology and supporting infrastructure. A stronger domestic supply chain could also help companies reduce their dependence on imported components.
India’s manufacturing industry is gaining momentum through electronics and technology investments. The INR 13 lakh crore production milestone shows the sector’s rapid growth. Google’s reported Pixel plans could further strengthen smartphone manufacturing. Samsung’s Pune facility adds another layer through AI data center infrastructure.
Together, these developments show India’s expanding role in global manufacturing. The next challenge will be strengthening domestic supply chains and component production. If this momentum continues, electronics could become a major pillar of India’s manufacturing growth.
