UNION BUDGET: Saptarishi For The Electronics Industry Too?

Presenting the Union Budget this year, when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the adoption of Saptarishi (seven priorities) to guide India through the Amrit Kaal, all of the electronics industry was hoping for a helping hand too. And why not? The electronics and tech markets are still reeling under the Covid-19 pandemic-induced downfall.

Hence, the government’s decision to eliminate import duty on the camera lens and components was taken in good stead, as it will benefit mobile phone manufacturers in India. Electronic Industries Association of India (ELCINA) believes that such exemption should be extended to all other electronic product segments that use camera modules and electronic components.

Highlights 

But before going into the nitty-gritty of it, let’s come back to square one and look at the major points of the Economic Survey and Union Budget 2023-24, with an eye on the Electronics System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) sector:

• Globally, India is the 5th largest economy, and its per capita income has increased by over 2x in the last five years to ₹197,000.

• The domestic electronics industry, as of FY20, is valued at US$118 billion. India aims to reach US$300 billion worth of electronics manufacturing and US$ 120 billion in exports by FY26.

• The major drivers of growth in this industry are mobile phones, consumer electronics, and industrial electronics. India has become the second-largest mobile phone manufacturer globally, with the production of handsets going up from 60 million units in FY15 to 310 million units in FY22.
