Moving fast from vision to execution in electronics manufacturing: IESA

India’s electronics manufacturing drive is gaining strong momentum as the government and industry move from policy-making to on-ground execution, India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) President Ashok Chandak said on Monday.

At a session celebrating the progress of the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) in the national capital, Chandak highlighted that India is rapidly shifting from assembling finished products to building critical components and materials within the country.

"The momentum shows that India’s transition from policy to production is now clearly visible," Chandak said during the event, which was attended by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of State Jitin Prasada and MeitY Joint Secretary Sushil Pal.

He also praised the government for approving the second tranche of ECMS applications worth Rs7,100 crore. "IESA member companies are among the first to receive approvals under the scheme, with several more applications in the pipeline," he mentioned. Chandak added that India is steadily building a strong foundation in electronics component manufacturing, which is crucial for reducing imports, strengthening supply chains and creating high-skill jobs .
