Statement (a) is correct; data for the financial year 2021-22 showed Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka as the top two states in electronics export, arguably dominating the sector among states till that period. Statement (b) is incorrect; a review of Karnataka's electronics export data over the last five financial years shows significant fluctuations and periods of slower or negative growth (e.g., FY2019-20 growth was minimal, FY2023-24 saw a decline from FY2022-23), thus the growth has not been strictly "consistent". Statement (c) is correct; according to government data for the financial year 2023-24, Tamil Nadu emerged as the top state in electronics export, surpassing Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka. Therefore, statements (a) and (c) are correct, and (b) is incorrect. This means two statements are correct.
Consider the following statements: (a) Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka dominated the electronics export amongst other Indian States till 2022. (b) In the last five financial years, Karnataka has shown consistent growth in electronics export. (c) Tamil Nadu has the highest export (in value INR) of electronic goods for the year 2023-24.
