The United States, the United Arab Emirates, and China have emerged as the top three destinations for India’s electronics exports during the April-June quarter of FY26, according to the latest data from the Commerce Ministry. The Netherlands and Germany also ranked among the major export markets for the sector.
India’s electronics exports witnessed robust growth in Q1 FY26, rising by 47% to $12.41 billion compared to the same period last year. Officials attribute this surge to India’s growing integration into the global electronics supply chain, positioning the country as an emerging alternative manufacturing hub in Asia.
The U.S. remains the largest export destination for Indian electronics, commanding a 60.17% share, followed by the UAE (8.09%), China (3.88%), Netherlands (2.68%), and Germany (2.09%).
India’s ready-made garment (RMG) exports also performed well during the April-June quarter, increasing to $4.19 billion, up from $3.85 billion in the same period last year. The U.S. again emerged as the dominant market, accounting for 34.11% of shipments, followed by the UK (8.81%), UAE (7.85%), Germany (5.51%), and Spain (5.29%).
According to ministry officials, this growth reflects India’s competitiveness in the global apparel market, supported by its skilled workforce, diverse product range, and strong track record in quality and compliance.
On an annual basis, the RMG sector recorded a 10.03% growth in FY25, with exports touching $15.99 billion, up from $14.53 billion in FY24.
India’s marine product exports also saw a significant rebound, registering a 19.45% increase to $1.95 billion in Q1 FY26. For FY25, marine exports had risen marginally by 45%, reaching $7.41 billion.
The revival in Q1 exports is largely attributed to strong demand from key international markets, especially the U.S., which accounted for 37.63% of India’s seafood shipments. Other major importers included China (17.26%), Vietnam (6.63%), Japan (4.47%), and Belgium (3.57%).
