- (c)  To increase exports, reduce import dependency and generate employment, Government has undertaken various initiatives ensuring development of electronics manufacturing ecosystem, which include:
- a. Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS)

b. Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS)

- c.  Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC and EMC 2.0) Scheme
- d. Semicon India Programme
- e. Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS)
- f.  Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017

g. Reforms in taxation including rationalization of tariff structure, exemption on basic custom duty on capital goods, etc.

h. Allowing  100%  FDI  in  electronics  manufacturing,  subject  to  applicable  laws/ regulations

(d)  Development of India's semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem is expected to strengthen electronics exports over time and reduce import dependence  in critical  components. Government has approved 10 projects with envisaged investments of about Rs. 1.6 Lakh Crore which  includes  2  fabs  and  8  packaging  units.  These  projects  are  in  various  stages  of implementation and are expected to become operational in 3-6 years' timeframe.

(e)  As  per  Niti  Aayog  report,  there  is  a  potential  to  achieve  USD  500  billion  in  electronics manufacturing in India by 2030. This will also cater to increase in exports. Export volumes are influenced by various factors, such as global demand, supply & price trends, improvements in quality and compliance with various domestic & international standards.
