Export of mobile phones jumps 127 times in a decade: Govt
New Delhi: India has witnessed a phenomenal surge in mobile phone exports, which have risen 127 times in the last decade from just Rs 0.01 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2 lakh crore in 2024-25, the Parliament was informed on Wednesday. Officials credited this remarkable growth to the reforms and policy measures introduced under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' vision, which transformed India into a global hub for electronics manufacturing. The production of mobile phones has jumped from Rs 0.18 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 5.5 lakh crore in 2024-25 -- marking a 28-fold increase, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha. During the same period, the number of mobile manufacturing units expanded from just two in 2014 to over 300 in 2025, a rise of 150 times. As a result, India, once dependent on imports to meet nearly three-fourths of its mobile phone demand, now imports a negligible 0.02 per cent of the total units sold. Overall electronics production has also grown six times in the last decade, from Rs 1.9 lakh crore to Rs 11.3 lakh crore, while exports of electronic goods have surged eight times to Rs 3.3 lakh crore in 2024-25. The government attributed this turnaround to flagship schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) for large-scale electronics and IT hardware, the Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC and EMC 2.0), the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS), and the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017. These initiatives have generated an estimated 25 lakh direct and indirect jobs in the electronics sector across India. Maharashtra alone hosts 85 supported manufacturing units, two common facility centres and one electronics manufacturing cluster under the Ministry's schemes. The government also highlighted the role of Digital India and Skill India programmes in equipping youth with digital skills. In Maharashtra, over 53 lakh people have been trained under Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA), including nearly 6 lakh from Scheduled Tribes, while initiatives like FutureSkills PRIME and drone technology training programmes have further expanded employability opportunities.

HSBC India announces India Business Case Programme 2025-26 to equip India's Next-Gen workforce
Aimed at improving employability of the country's student population MUMBAI, India, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HSBC India has announced the 12th edition of the India Business Case Programme for the academic year 2025-26, designed to equip undergraduate students with the skills, knowledge, and practical experience, essential for thriving in the modern workplace, thereby bridging the gap between academia and industry. India's workforce faces a pressing challenge of a significant mismatch between the skills graduates possess and the demands of the modern workplace. According to the Economic Survey 2024-25, only 42.6% of Indian graduates are employable, with non-technical skill gaps being a major barrier. Alarmingly, only 8.25% of graduates are employed in roles that align with their qualifications, underscoring the urgent need for initiatives that prepare students for meaningful careers. While technical expertise in areas like AI and data analytics is in demand, employers are increasingly prioritizing soft skills such as critical thinking, communication, and creativity—abilities essential for navigating the complexities of workplaces. Recognizing these challenges, HSBC has designed its Business Case Programme to address important areas of skill enhancement, critical thinking, and leadership development among youth, preparing them for the career requirements of the future. The objective is to bring together academic knowledge with practical learning in the real business world through business case studies. Implemented by United Way of Mumbai and Sattva Consulting, the programme goes beyond traditional classroom learning, offering a hybrid learning experience that combines e-learning, workshops, industry mentorship sessions, and interactions with C-suite executives, providing participants with practical insights and real-world business perspectives. The top 2 teams get an opportunity to demonstrate their ability and skills at the annual HSBC-University of Hong Kong (HKU) Asia-Pacific Business Case Programme, along with the brightest minds from across the region. Talking about the programme, Aloka Majumdar, MD and Head of Sustainability, HSBC India, said, "As India's workforce gears up for a future defined by technological disruption and global competition, the programme provides a platform to nurture the immense potential of India's youth. By scaling the programme to colleges from tier 2 and tier 3 cities and towns, we aim to unlock the latent talent and provide equal opportunities for students across the country." In the 2024-25 edition, the programme witnessed an overwhelming response, with nearly 8,000 registrations from 158 colleges nationwide. This year, HSBC India aims to surpass these numbers, further solidifying its position as a leader in youth empowerment and skill development. What's New in 2025-26 • AI-Enabled Evaluation: For the first time, an AI-powered platform will assess team and individual performance, providing a cumulative score that reflects both technical and soft skills. How to Participate The programme is open for registration to all undergraduate students in their penultimate or final year across all streams (Science, Commerce & Arts). Interested students can register as a team of four, representing their college via Interested participants and institutions can also reach out to HSBC India and Sustainability HSBC India's strategy to support sustainable economic growth, focuses on Community Investment (CSR interventions), Sustainable Operations, Sustainable Finance and Sustainability Risk.
