But for hobbyists and students who want to order parts for their projects in small quantities, this $40 shipping charge is going to be disappointing.
If you are thinking of ordering components from Digikey to India in small quantities, and don’t want to incur this heavy shipping charge, Then consider ordering your parts from the following vendor,
Source Technologi is a electronics components Authorized Distributor for Digikey in India.
You can order your parts from Digikey via Source Technologi. They will charge an extra margin on Digikey actual price and deliver your parts via courier.
Source Technologi pricing
To give you and idea on the prices quoted by Source Technologi,
I had inquired them about the price of STM32W108 microcontroller with Digikey part number 497-11408-6-ND (USD $5.55) and they had quoted a price of Rs.555/- for 1 No’s.
Original price on Digikey site was $5.55 = Rs.344.50/- but Source Technologi quoted Rs.555/-
How to order from Source Technologi?
Send them an inquiry via email including the Digikey part number you want to order and they will reply with the price.

Semikart runs their own store or online portal through which you can place the order for parts from Digikey or Mouser. They can ship it to you within India without you incurring the international shipping charges. I knew Semikart from Muttu a friend from old times when he used to run Green India Electronics, he helped me get STLINK-V2 to India long time back without shipping charges when i was too poor 😀 It seems to be his new venture.
You can mail them to orders@semikart.com and they will give you the instructions on how to place the order.
