India's electronic manufacturing and export to see robust growth with new components policy: Report
New Delhi: With the new electronic components manufacturing policy "in place", India's electronic manufacturing will see a value addition of 40 to 50 per cent from the current 15-16 per cent, said a report by Axis Capital.
"We expect value addition to increase to 40/ 50 per cent from the current 15/ 16 per cent, with a components policy now in place". said the report
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), on April 8, notified the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme, marking a significant step towards strengthening India's position as a global hub for electronics manufacturing.
According to the Axis report, India is the second-largest mobile phone producer in the world, with 99 per cent of mobile phones sold in the country being locally made. India's mobile phone exports surged by 77 times over FY14-24.
The report highlighted that India is rapidly emerging as a preferred global manufacturing and export hub, driven by a combination of strategic government policies like Production Linked Incentive (PLI), Phased Manufacturing Program (PMP), and Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS), a skilled workforce, and infrastructure that is outpacing competitors.
India has always relied significantly on imports, particularly in electronics, where imports exceeded production until the financial year (FY16).
With the 'Make in India' initiative, the country is now expanding its electronics industry, attracting significant investments and boosting local output.
As a result, production was around 24 per cent higher than imports in FY24. India's electronics exports expanded at a CAGR of around 26 per cent over FY16-25.
Electronics production witnessed a CAGR of 20 per cent over FY15-24, led by mobile phone manufacturing. Mobile manufacturing contributed 44 per cent of total electronic production and witnessed a CAGR of 41 per cent over the same period, significantly outpacing the total electronics growth.
The government has set a target to achieve USD 500 billion in exports by FY30, where the focus will be on component manufacturing, which is expected to contribute 30 per cent of the overall production from 9 per cent in FY24.

Ethara's Danny Klima on project management and its role in global sporting events
Image: Gareth Harford / Motorsport Images Photographer) courtesy E1/ For illustrative purposes In the high-stakes world of international events, delivering flawless execution while juggling complex logistics, tight timelines, and diverse stakeholders is no small feat. Danny Klima, venue portfolio director at Ethara, shares how project management principles are at the heart of the success of iconic events like the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year. With over two decades of global experience and 18 years in the UAE, Klima reflects on how certifications from the Project Management Institute ( Danny Klima/ Image: Supplied How has your project management training supported the successful delivery of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix? Live events have their own set of inherent uncertainties and risks involved with anything from weather conditions, logistical issues and last-minute changes impacting deliverables.. We need to be agile and quick to adapt and turn things around whatever the disruptions as the event has to go live. My Project Management Professional (PMP) and Program Management Professional (PgMP) certifications gave me the tools to lead cross-functional teams with a leadership style that balances decisiveness and collaboration. These qualifications also helped me foster synergy across technical teams and international stakeholders while embedding a culture of accountability. In the end, the outcome is the most crucial part of it all, and if we are able to navigate the challenges and have a process-driven approach while remaining quick on our feet to counter unexpected challenges on the way, we have a win-win situation in hand. Sustainability is another key focus. I used my training to embed sustainability within every phase of the project — from work breakdown structures and programme architecture to delivery and post-event evaluation. This structured approach helped us integrate innovations like renewable energy and waste-reduction strategies into the planning and execution process. What are some of the key sustainability initiatives at the Grand Prix? Sustainability is a fundamental part of our event blueprint. The Grand Prix operations teams are quite process-driven to ensure efficiency and they are already dialed into sustainability. Our sustainability initiatives, be it around advanced technology to reduce our energy consumption — all of our track lights are LED so it reduced our electricity demands — or our renewable project, where we commissioned a one-megawatt solar car park, are really a fundamental part of the business. F1 has a sustainability steering committee that ensures sustainability is embedded into department objectives. For a massive event like this where we have 70,000 spectators coming to an event for a 10-hour day, the impact can be huge. We focus on plastic and waste, wellbeing, energy use, fan travel, how fans get to the venue, how the event impacts the local community, and, of course, carbon. And we think about air quality. We think about noise. We think about groundwater pollution. We initiated a shift to e-tickets as part of our waste management agenda a few years ago. We didn't have to produce the plastic cards, or the lanyards. We didn't need planes and trains and buses to ship the tickets all around the world. So we eliminated all of that waste and logistics from the event, which we're really proud of. We're an old venue. Yas Marina Circuit has been operating since 2009, so we have a lot of old technology. Converting everything to LED lighting has definitely helped. Even simple solutions like having water diffusers on the bottom of taps has helped to reduce wastage especially when we have 70,000 people using the venue. We work with suppliers with sustainability strategies, who have frameworks and net-zero ambitions, and help us deliver our objectives as well. As for how we measure the success of our sustainability drive, we have a robust customer feedback survey which enables us to work around our limitations and scale up our success. We also ensure we are up to date with our certifications which showcases our adherence to sustainable measures. We also get scored by Formula 1 for our sustainability plan around plastic and waste, well-being and nature, energy, fan travel, local community and carbon. Formula 1 sets some stringent guidelines and their feedback mechanism through scoring and awards enable us to ensure we are on the right path. Looking back at the 2024 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix — what was a key learning from this edition? The 2024 edition marked the culmination of a high-stakes season, and delivering such a multifaceted event reinforced the importance of stakeholder alignment and agile planning. Whether coordinating race-day operations or managing back-to-back headline concerts, the key learning was the need for real-time responsiveness grounded in a robust project framework. These insights will help us elevate future editions even further. How has technology — especially AI and data analytics — changed how you plan and execute events? Adaptability is key to success in this field. Data analytics has helped us optimise resource allocation, forecast demand, and reduce waste. For Formula 1, we often need to know attendee needs before they do — and AI is helping us do just that. Emerging tools are improving our ability to anticipate issues and personalise experiences, and I'm excited about the continued role of AI in shaping how events evolve in the coming years. You've lived in the UAE for nearly two decades. How has the local culture influenced your approach to event management? The UAE's emphasis on hospitality and inclusivity aligns beautifully with our goals in event delivery. Working in Abu Dhabi has taught me the value of adaptability and cultural sensitivity. The local tradition of blending innovation with heritage has helped shape my approach — whether it's integrating advanced technology or meeting global standards while honouring local customs. What does the future look like for Abu Dhabi as a global events destination? Abu Dhabi's transformation into a holistic world-class leisure and lifestyle destination is purely a byproduct of the leadership's ambitious vision backed by heavy investment into innovation that marries technology with sustainability. There are of course challenges with regards to climate and logistics and navigating permits, regulations and legal requirements. But at the end of the day, the steadfast vision to offer a memorable experience for all visitors backed by best-in-class practices and world-class infrastructure along with a robust investment into skilled workforce has ensured the emirate has been able to attract a diverse range of footfall. There is huge potential here for the global events industry and what makes the venue truly unique is the adherence to local culture while not compromising on offering the very best of services to guests. An international event like the Formula 1 Grand Prix draws its own unique crowd – from spectators to vendors to the real heroes on track. The emirate has proved over the years that it can host world class events where technology, innovation and creativity come together intricately to offer a truly memorable experience for all involved.
