By Richa Chakravarty
Wednesday, March 05, 2014: Year 2013 witnessed some major changes in the trading and distribution markets in India. On one hand, the economic scenario was at its worst for the initial six to eight months of the year with the Indian trading community reeling under a steep fall in the rupee’s value, against the US dollar. On the other hand, there were some state policy issues holding back the trading market. While in April 2013, the Department of Trade and Taxes had enforced Form T-2 for the purchase of all goods from outside Delhi, Maharashtra witnessed the maximum turmoil due to the local body tax (LBT) being imposed.
In this scenario, electronics components distributors in India faced several challenges while trading domestically. We feature the 30 leading electronics components distributors that do business in India. This list has to be viewed knowing that a majority of the companies did not file their revenues with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), and hence, we could not rank them.
We have therefore featured these companies alphabetically. To come out with this list of 30 companies, we took the help of industry experts, and evaluated the companies on the basis of their revenues over a couple of years. We also judged them based on the number of reputed principals they have in their kitty. Some major global distributors do not feature in the list as they do not have a direct presence in India (no representative or branch office).
However, as is the current trend, many of these companies also trade in other products besides electronics components. We did not include companies that are purely into trading in semiconductors.
Disclaimer: While Electronics Bazaar’s editorial team has taken the utmost care to contact all possible sources to make the list comprehensive, we may have inadvertently left out a few companies. Information contained in the following report has been obtained from sources deemed reliable, and Electronics Bazaar makes no claims with respect to its accuracy.
