Powering India's Electronics & Semiconductor Growth

India’s electronics and semiconductor industry stands at an inflection point. Backed by rising domestic demand, ambitious production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes and global supply chains realigning towards India, the country is emerging as a key hub for manufacturing, design and innovation. At the heart of this transformation are electronica India and productronica India—platforms that connect the entire electronics value chain, from semiconductors and components to production, assembly and testing.

In this exclusive conversation, Bhupinder Singh, President IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa), Messe München CEO, Messe Muenchen India, shares insights on the upcoming edition, the role of the India Semiconductor Conclave, and how these trade fairs act as accelerators for India’s ambition to become a global electronics powerhouse.

India's electronics industry is on a growth trajectory. What market potential and opportunities do you see, and how do electronica India and productronica India contribute to this growth?

India’s electronics sector is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Mobile devices, IT hardware, consumer and automotive electronics, industrial applications, and renewable energy systems are driving growth, while the EV ecosystem and IoT-led innovation are opening entirely new horizons.

Opportunities span across semiconductor fabs, component localisation, advanced packaging, display technology, battery management, EV infrastructure and smart factories. At the same time, the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) is boosting passive component manufacturing—a critical step in creating a resilient, end-to-end domestic supply chain.

The government's PLI schemes, the India Semiconductor Mission, and display manufacturing incentives are fuelling investment in consumer and automotive electronics (EV and ADAS), renewable energy, and telecom (5G and beyond). Simultaneously, Industry 4.0 adoption, AI integration and sustainability are redefining Indian manufacturing. Equally vital is nurturing startups and deep-tech ventures, whose agility and innovation accelerate India's journey to self-reliance.
