India’s electronics industry is on the cusp of a transformative journey, aiming to establish itself as a global leader in electronics exports by 2030. Central to this ambitious vision is the Mobile and Electronic Devices Export Promotion Council (MEDEPC), which has laid out a comprehensive strategy to elevate India’s position in the global electronics market.

MEDEPC’s Vision 2030: Transforming India’s Electronics Landscape

Established in 2021, MEDEPC operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Ministry of Commerce & Industry. Its primary mission is to propel India’s electronics sector to become a dominant force in global exports. To achieve this, MEDEPC has outlined several strategic plans and goals:

1. Enhancing Manufacturing Capabilities

MEDEPC aims to bolster domestic manufacturing by promoting the production of a diverse range of electronic products, including mobile devices, IT hardware, consumer electronics, wearables, hearables, smartwatches, and printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA). By fostering innovation and nurturing talent, MEDEPC seeks to create a robust manufacturing ecosystem that can meet global standards.

2. Expanding Export Markets

Diversifying export destinations is a key component of MEDEPC’s strategy. By exploring new markets and strengthening ties with existing partners, MEDEPC aims to reduce dependency on a limited number of countries and enhance the resilience of India’s electronics export sector.

3. Strengthening Supply Chains

Recognizing the importance of a reliable supply chain, MEDEPC is working towards reducing dependency on imports, particularly from countries like China. This involves promoting local production of key components and encouraging investments in the domestic electronics ecosystem.

Facts and Figures: The Road to 2030

India’s electronics export landscape has witnessed significant growth, and projections indicate a promising future:

• Current Export Value: In the fiscal year 2023-24, India’s electronics exports surpassed the $20 billion mark, showcasing the country’s growing competitiveness in the global market.

• Projected Growth: Exports of electronics are anticipated to rise from $28 billion in 2023 to $61 billion by 2030, more than doubling over the seven-year period.(India Briefing)

• Global Market Share: India’s share in global merchandise exports increased from 1.70% in 2014 to 1.82% in 2023, reflecting a positive trend in the country’s export performance.(Ministry of Commerce and Industry)

• Production Targets: The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) envisions India advancing to $500 billion in electronics production by 2030, with exports contributing $200-225 billion.

Government Initiatives Supporting MEDEPC’s Vision

To realize these ambitious goals, the Indian government has introduced several initiatives:

Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme

Launched to boost domestic manufacturing, the PLI scheme offers incentives to companies producing electronic components locally. Since its inception in 2020, the scheme has attracted over $17 billion in investments across 14 sectors, including electronics, leading to production worth approximately ₹11 trillion and the creation of nearly one million jobs.

Import Duty Reforms

In a move to support local manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports, the government has eliminated import duties on essential smartphone components. This decision benefits companies like Apple and Xiaomi, encouraging them to expand their manufacturing operations in India.
