Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu stated that India's electronics exports surpassing the $47 billion milestone are due to "decisive leadership and consistent reforms" implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, rather than mere coincidence.

He referred to the accomplishment as a solid illustration of the success of the Make in India program.

India's achievement of $47 billion in electronics exports is not a coincidence. The chief minister stated in a post on X that it is the outcome of strong leadership and ongoing reforms led by PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji.

Emphasizing important statistics for calendar year 2025 (CY25), the chief minister stated that India achieved $47 billion in electronics exports, reflecting a 37 percent increase compared to the previous year.
