INDIA'S ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING and export prowess have grown multifold in the last decade driven by enabling policies and incentives, and the made-in-India products now command global recognition given their reliability and respect for IP rights, minister for electronics and information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Friday.
Inaugurating VVDN Technologies' surface mount technology line here, the minister said electronics manufacturing in India has risen fivefold in the last decade, topping ₹11 lakh crore. Exports have grown six times during this period, crossing ₹3.25 lakh crore. The entire ecosystem has spurred 2.5 million jobs, Vaishnaw said.
"In the global market, Indian products, given their reliability and respect for IP (intellectual property) rights, have an advantage, and it is being recognised globally," he said.
India's design capabilities have paved the way for complex products — from AI cameras to automobile electronics and telecom network equipment to power electronics — being designed here, adding to India's sheen as an electronics hub, he said.
