India Sees 49% Jump in Electronics Sales to BRICS Ahead of Summit
New Delhi, September 11 – According to the Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council, India’s electronics export to the six BRICS economies rose by 49.27% in the 2025‑26 financial year, a rate well above the nation’s overall export growth of 26.53%.
The council predicts an even stronger trajectory once the 18th BRICS summit convenes on 12‑13 September. The summit will focus on digital collaboration and trade‑ease proposals that, if acted upon promptly, could further expand Indian exporters’ footprints in the bloc.
The United Arab Emirates and China together account for 88.5% of the BRICS import share, making them the largest buyers of Indian electronics within the group. Telecom gear leads the export composition, representing 74.6% of the total value shipped to BRICS nations.
BRICS nations currently constitute roughly 19.6% of India’s global electronics export volume. A deeper cooperative network covering equipment certification, shared digital platforms and niche software solutions is expected to raise demand in the coming years.
Council chief executive Gurmeet Singh noted that India’s BRICS presidency presents an opportunity to push forward several agenda items that could prove pivotal for future export growth. Recent developments, such as the discussion on a digital public‑infrastructure repository and the India‑Brazil ICT agreement signed in Pune, emphasize cooperation in 5G, 6G, open‑RAN and satellite connectivity.
The council also referred to the proposed BRICS Global Value‑Chain Action Plan for 2026‑2030 and an MSME cooperation portal, both slated to help Indian small and medium‑sized firms plug into international supply chains, thereby widening market access and increasing participation in global manufacturing networks.
Chairman Rajesh Revankar added that these frameworks could generate new business avenues for Indian exporters, particularly MSMEs, by linking them to emerging cross‑border value chains. An additional proposal – a BRICS invoice‑discounting mechanism – aims to ease financing challenges for firms targeting markets such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, Indonesia and South Africa.
Industry insiders believe that the combined effect of digital collaboration, streamlined trade procedures and financing innovations could turn this year’s robust growth into a lasting upward trend for India’s electronics sector.
