How to read it
An NIC code is built in layers. Each digit narrows the one before it: the division, the group, the class, and finally the 5-digit sub-class. Divisions themselves are grouped under lettered sections.
The broadest numbered layer. Division 26 covers manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products. It sits in section C, manufacturing.
Manufacture of electronic components.
Manufacture of electronic components. The official note for this class is quoted below.
Manufacture of electronic capacitors, resistors, chokes, coils, trasformers (electronic) and similar components. The full 5-digit code you enter where a form asks for the business activity by NIC code.

About this page
The section, division, group, class and sub-class on this page, and the explanatory note for class 2610, are taken word for word from the official document “National Industrial Classification (All Economic Activities) 2008”, Central Statistical Organisation, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India.
This is reference information on the classification of a business activity. It is not advice on which code your own business should declare, and the official NIC document prevails if the two ever differ. A change in the classification, including the MoSPI concordance to NIC 2025, re-opens this page for checking.
