FY26 has been a landmark year for electronics manufacturing in
#TamilNadu !
✅ ~US$20 Billion in electronics exports
✅ 41% of India’s electronics exports
✅ 36% YoY growth
✅ Nearly 4x growth in just three years (from ~US$5 Billion)
We continue to be India’s No.1 electronics exporter🔥
Kanchipuram district alone accounts for nearly US$16.8 billion in electronics exports but more importantly we have sown the seeds for distributed electronics sector growth to other parts of TN too♥️
Tamil Nadu also recorded the highest export growth among all major exporting states in FY26, at a staggering 13.7% in spite of the “tariff wars”.
Our responsible and well thought out interventions have ensured that even with heavy global headwinds TN has topped India, winning over MH & GJ on YoY growth ! This is the direct outcome of constant engagement with Industry, lobbying with the union and refraining from politicising industrial growth !
#CMMKStalin also ensured industry knew that they can rely on his govt to ensure intervention comes whenever needed and at good pace.
Such interventions and reassurances have today ensured growth even in the most testing of times with global headwinds. One must also understand that TN unlike the other big states in India is the most exposed to exports to the US ! We have maintained this growth during tensions in INDIA-US trade despite being the most dependent on the US ! Am especially happy to see the garments sector holding fort despite the troubles they faced due to tariffs and Bangladeshi exports. Congratulations to the Tiruppur Export Association and its members.
As far as the electronics sector is concerned the DMK Govt took all necessary steps to ensure Tamil Nadu’s sectoral supremacy keeps growing by leaps and bounds. I hope and pray we continue to sustain this pace and am sure TN will leap beyond the 30B mark this year if the momentum is maintained. With more tweaks I don’t see why we should not cross the 50B mark by 2028/29, especially with several of the MoUs signed in 2024 and 2025 coming into commercial production in FY27 and FY28♥️
Behind these numbers are the deeply thought out deliberate policy interventions and relentless pace of execution during Honourable former Chief Minister Thiru
@mkstalin’s Government, which delivered:
• India’s first dedicated Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme
• Tamil Nadu’s Semiconductor & Advanced Electronics Policy 2024
• Aggressive investor outreach across the world
• Faster approvals and world-class industrial infrastructure
• Preparing a skilled workforce, reliable power, ports and logistics that global manufacturers trust.
