• ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

UNIT 9 & 10 – INDUSTRY AND INFRASTRUCTURE – PART 11

Electronic manufacturing industry:

  • The vision of National Policy on Electronics 2019 (NPE 2019) notified on 25.02.2019 is to position India as a global hub for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) by encouraging and driving capabilities in the country for developing core components, including, chipsets, and creating an enabling environment for the industry to compete globally.
  • A vibrant electronic components manufacturing ecosystem is vital for the overall long-term and sustainable growth of electronics manufacturing in India and essential to achieve net positive Balance of Payments (BoP)
  • National Policy on Electronics, 2019, Modified Special Incentive Scheme (MSIPS), Electronics Manufacturing Clusters and Electronics Development Fund etc., India’s production of electronics grew from USD 29 billion in 2014 to USD 70 billion in 2019. 
  • India now has become the 2ndlargest mobile phone producer in the world.
  • With a view to building a robust manufacturing ecosystem which will be an asset to the global economy we are looking forward to developing a strong ecosystem across the value chain and integrating it with global value chains.

This is the essence of these three Schemes namely, the

(iProduction Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing,

(ii) Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) and

(iii) Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC2.0) Scheme.

  • The PLI Scheme shall extend an incentive of 4% to 6% on incremental sales (over base year) of goods manufactured in India and covered under the target segments, to eligible companies, for a period of five years subsequent to the base year.
  • The SPECS shall provide financial incentive of 25% on capital expenditure for the identified list of electronic goods, i.e., electronic components, semiconductor/ display fabrication units, Assembly, Test, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) units, specialized sub-assemblies and capital goods for manufacture of aforesaid goods. 
  • The EMC 2.0 shall provide support for creation of world class infrastructure along with common facilities and amenities, including Ready Built Factory (RBF) sheds / Plug and Play facilities for attracting major global electronics manufacturers, along with their supply chains.
  • The triology of Schemes entail an outlay of about Rs. 50,000crore (approximately USD 7 billion).
  • These Schemes shall contribute significantly to achieving a USD 1 Trillion digital economy and a USD 5 Trillion GDP by 2025.
