Just got an article from a friend I had brought to India last month to do a deal in biotech.  The McKinsey article  “Fulfilling the promise India’s manufacturing sector“  highlights how India’s manufacturers will have a tremendous opportunity to grow due to rising domestic Indian demand and because multinationals desire to diversify from their existing low cost manufacturing bases in China.   India will play a significant role in global manufacturing because it has hundreds of millions of potential workers, speaks English  and has a huge, growing domestic market to leverage.

The domestic market for electrical machinery will have a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 23% to 2025. In the midst of an anemic global economic recovery this is exciting growth.  From automotive, consumer, industrial and medical electronics to  telecom equipment McKinsey is expecting tremendous growth to catapult India into the manufacturing big leagues with China, Germany, Japan and the US.

 At SCL we have already seen significant growth in demand (albeit with tremendous pressure on margins) in spite of the global recession. We also see new projects that our customers are working on in automotive, high technology, LED lighting, solar, aviation and defense  that underline the huge potential going forward.  We are looking forward to growing  in the brand new 2012-13 fiscal year!

I just returned from India to the New York area a few days ago and there is considerable excitement over the efforts to help the  Indian electronics industry grow. The IT and mobile telephone sectors are shining examples of what India can achieve …. with the right policies.  

The Draft National Policy on Electronics 2011 highlights ambitious goals:

• Current Situation: USD 20 Billion production in India  in 2009. Indian electronics production is 1.31% of global production vs China’s 33%
• Indian Government Projections:  USD 400 Billion electronics market by 2020 with a required investment of USD 100 Billion. Employment of 28 million and exports of USD 80 Billion also desired. That is a HUGE increase in production in just a decade!

The focus  is on creating a globally competitive Electronic Systems and Design Manufacturing ecosystem with a focus on strategic electronics such as Defence, Atomic Energy and Space.  Centers of Excellence will be set up for Automotive Electronics, Avionics and Industrial Electronics.  Strategic importance is also given to Telecom, Power, Railways and Civil Aviation. Read the Draft Policy yourself.
