Locally manufactured electric products, namely transformers and accumulators, are gaining popularity abroad as the industry’s annual export earnings touched a record-high of $100 million in the just concluded fiscal year. The last time export proceeds from electric goods even came close to the current level was back in fiscal 2014-15, when outbound shipments fetched a total of $90 million. The industry’s annual foreign earnings had fallen to around $65 million the following fiscal and despite a slight recovery in the year after, export receipts continued on a downward trend, hitting a low point of around $39 million in FY20. Exports then ballooned by about 71 per cent in fiscal 2019-21 before going on to hit $67 million in fiscal 2020-21, according to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB).
