Uttar Pradesh also contributes around 15 per cent to the country's electronics exports and around 25 per cent to mobile phone exports, the statement said.

"Uttar Pradesh should contribute significantly to India's USD 500 billion electronics manufacturing goal by 2030, with a major share of the USD 200 billion. Furthermore, UP must undertake aggressive global outreach and should consider establishing international offices, which will facilitate the integration with Global Value Chains (GVCs), and draw major international brands to India," ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo said.
