Policies and Schemes
Electronic Systems – India is one of the largest consumer electronics markets in Asia Pacific Region. The world’s fastest-growing industry, Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) continues to transform lives, businesses, and economies across the globe. The Government of India attributes high priority to electronics hardware manufacturing, as it is one of the crucial pillars of Make in India, Digital India, and Start-up India programmes.
India is expected to have a digital economy of $ 1 Tn by 2025. India’s semiconductor market is expected to increase from ~$ 15 Bn in FY20 to ~$ 110 Bn in FY30, growing at a CAGR of 22%.
The Semicon India Program with an incentive outlay of ~$ 10 Bn was launched with the vision to develop a sustainable semiconductor and display ecosystem in the country. This program will establish India as global hub for semiconductor and display manufacturing, promote self-reliance, strengthen resilience in global supply chains, and pave the way for India’s technological leadership in the industry.
