Electronics exports spotlighted in latest Trade Watch as India looks to deepen global value chain integration
India’s ability to scale up exports and strengthen its presence in global trade will depend on improving the quality, productivity, and competitiveness of its manufacturing sector, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery said on Thursday.
“We can only be successful at exports if we are successful at quality production,” he said, underlining that international trade remains central to India’s long-term economic transformation.
Bery described global trade as “fundamental” to India’s development trajectory and stressed that sustained export momentum requires continuous improvements in standards, efficiency, and innovation within the manufacturing ecosystem.
He also praised the team behind the publication, including NITI Aayog Member R.S. Sahoo and CEO B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, for sustaining a consistent analytical effort through the quarterly report. He expressed hope that the findings would inform policy discussions and stakeholder engagement more widely.
Highlighting that the drive to strengthen manufacturing has long been embedded in India’s policy framework, Bery traced the goal back to earlier industrial policy resolutions, noting that current efforts are part of a broader, ongoing push to enhance competitiveness and integrate India more deeply into global value chains.
The focus on electronics exports reflects the government’s intent to position India as a credible manufacturing alternative in a rapidly evolving global trade landscape.
