However, the growth in production remained almost flat in 2020-21 compared to production worth Rs 5,33,550 crore in 2019-20

India’s electronics production recorded an all-time high at Rs 5,33,670 crore in 2020-21, increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 17 per cent in the last 5 years, IT and Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw informed the Parliament.

This comes as the country prepares to propel itself as an electronics manufacturing hub

There has been an almost threefold in electronics production from Rs 1,90,366 crore worth of manufacturing in 2014-15, as per Vaishnaw.

“Electronics manufacturing has grown rapidly in the country with a CAGR of around 17 per cent during the last 5 years,” Vaishnaw said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.

However, the growth in production remained almost flat in 2020-21 compared to production worth Rs 5,33,550 crore in 2019-20.

The import of electronics chips fell 5.7 per cent to Rs 67,496 crore in 2020-21 from Rs 71,581 crore in 2019-20 and export increased by 17 per cent to Rs 2,064 crore from Rs 1,752 crore in 2019-20.

To a question on steps taken by the government to boost manufacturing of semiconductors in India amid a global shortage, Vaishnaw said a project for “establishment of Gallium Nitride (GaN) Ecosystem Enabling Center and Incubator for High Power and High Frequency Electronics” is being implemented by Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru at Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) with the project cost of Rs 298.66 crore.

He said the government has approved an application for setting up of Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) of NAND Flash memory under the PLI scheme for large scale electronics manufacturing.

“An application for discrete semiconductor devices, including transistors, diodes, thyristors, etc. and System in Package (SIP) has been approved under the PLI scheme for large scale electronics manufacturing,” Vaishnaw said.

At present, semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities for strategic requirements are available at Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Gallium Arsenide Enabling Technology Centre (GAETEC), Hyderabad and Society for Integrated Circuit Technology and Applied Research (SITAR), Bengaluru.

He said many policies of the government including the flagship Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors(SPECS), Modified Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC 2.0) are major steps towards making India ‘atmanirbhar’ in electronics manufacturing.

“PLI for ‘Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing’ offered a production linked incentive to boost domestic manufacturing and attract large investments in mobile phone manufacturing and specified electronic components, including ATMP units,” Vaishnaw said.
