NITI calls for inverted duty correction, tax relief to boost electronics output, exports
Business Standard
|February 14, 2026
Central policy think-tank NITI Aayog on Friday called for corrections in inverted duty structures, tax reliefs on strategic components and a conducive ecosystem to boost electronics exports.
“India’s electronics sector stands at a pivotal juncture, while domestic demand, assembly capacity, and production-linked incentives have driven rapid growth, export performance continues to lag due to structural gaps, cost disadvantages, and fragmented ecosystem development,” the Aayog said in the sixth edition of its commentary publication “Trade Watch Quarterly’.
NITI said that the government rationalise input tariffs, correct inverted duty structures, and address logistics inefficiencies to narrow the 10-18 per cent cost gap visa-vis global competitors.
