IP Rating Compliance Challenges Affect Indian Electronics Exports
India's electronics manufacturing sector has seen significant growth, with mobile phone exports exceeding Rs 1.2 lakh crore in FY2024 and investments surpassing Rs 2.16 lakh crore under the PLI scheme. However, exports face challenges due to non-compliance with international IP (Ingress Protection) rating standards, which certify product resistance to dust and water. Overseas buyers in countries like Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the US require certified IP ratings, and shipments lacking such proof are often rejected, impacting India's export potential despite product quality.
