(MENAFN- KNN India)
New Delhi, Dec 5 (KNN) India is experiencing a significant shift in its Electronics manufacturing landscape, with approximately two dozen major industrial groups positioning themselves to enter the global supply chain.
Leading companies such as the Tata Group, Murugappa, Pidilite, GMR, RP Sanjiv Goenka Group, and Bajaj Hindustan are exploring opportunities to produce components, sub-assemblies, and raw materials for the electronics sector.
The momentum is largely driven by the Tata Group's successful entry into Apple's supply chain, particularly in Iphone assembly and component production.
Industry experts, including Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman, India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), emphasise the critical need to develop a comprehensive supply chain to achieve India's ambitious electronics manufacturing target of USD 500 billion by 2030.
Strategic partnerships are emerging as key catalysts in this transformation. Pidilite, for instance, has begun supplying industrial adhesives to Tata and established an applications lab with US company CollTech.
Similarly, Japanese battery maker TDK has set up a significant manufacturing plant in Haryana, while the Motherson Group has entered a joint venture with BIEL Crystal Manufactory to produce smartphone glass.
Apple has emerged as a primary driver of this expansion, with industry sources indicating the company's vendor development team actively scouting Indian companies to diversify its supply chain away from China.
Currently, made-in-India iPhones contribute 14-15 per cent of Apple's global manufacturing capacity, with projections suggesting this could reach 26-30 per cent by 2027 and potentially match China's production levels by 2030.
The global context is equally promising. While the worldwide electronic manufacturing output stands at USD 4.3 trillion, India's current contribution is merely 1 per cent.
However, with increasing geopolitical tensions and the desire for supply chain diversification, Indian industrial houses see a significant opportunity to expand their manufacturing capabilities and global footprint in the electronics sector.
