India Advances Component Manufacturing to Enhance Electronics and Automobile Industries
India's electronics and automobile industries are focusing on reducing import dependence by boosting domestic manufacturing of critical components. The electronics sector, led by smartphone assembly, is moving towards deeper local production of parts like displays and batteries through government schemes such as the Electronics Components and Materials Scheme. Meanwhile, the automobile industry faces a growing trade deficit in components, highlighting challenges in developing indigenous technology for emerging electric and connected vehicle parts. Both sectors emphasize increasing local value addition to strengthen supply chains and technological capabilities.
