EHTP ecosystem reaches 79 units as FY26 electronics hardware exports target ₹11,200 crore
India’s Electronics Hardware Technology Park scheme has expanded to 79 units in FY26 from 70 two years earlier. Estimated FY26 exports are ₹11,200 crore, with Karnataka accounting for the largest share. Duty benefits, digital approvals and blanket import permissions aim to support export-led hardware production.

Why this matters
Retail and technology companies should evaluate partnerships, supplier alliances or localized assembly opportunities within EHTP clusters as export-oriented capacity expands.
What to watch
- Quarterly EHTP unit additions, investment commitments and export realization versus the ₹11,200 crore FY26 estimate.
- Evidence of component localization beyond final assembly, including PCB, enclosure, cable, power-supply, battery and subassembly capacity.
- Changes to customs duties, import permissions, export incentives or scheme compliance requirements.
- Karnataka cluster infrastructure upgrades, cargo capacity, industrial power reliability and supplier ecosystem expansion.
- Retail price gaps and warranty-quality performance between domestically produced and imported electronics hardware.
- Major global OEM, EMS or component-maker announcements involving EHTP facilities.
- Map EHTP-linked manufacturers in Karnataka and other parks for direct sourcing, private-label and exclusive-distribution opportunities.
- Track categories receiving the strongest production additions, especially computer peripherals, networking equipment, power accessories, telecom hardware and industrial electronics.
- Build procurement alternatives for imported hardware lines that could face price competition from EHTP-produced products.
- Assess supplier concentration risk in Karnataka, including port, airport cargo, power and component-logistics dependencies.
- Use India-made labeling and B2B procurement programs where domestic-origin hardware can meet quality, warranty and compliance requirements.
