Sulakshana Circuits Ltd. (SCL) is a leading Indian manufacturer of Double sided and Multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). Since 1990, its passion for producing high quality PCBs, on time and with excellent value has earned it a reputation unmatched in the industry. In 2018-20 SCL added equipment and increased its capabilities for Quick Turn and Prototype Multi-layer PCBs.

SCL has quality conscious customers in India and Europe who have consistently rewarded it with their orders every month. For example, Honda, Bajaj and TVS, with their stringent quality systems, consistently use SCL PCBs monthly. Similarly, Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) and Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) are prestigious, quality conscious Defense customers. 

SCL has ISO 9001:2015 certification from TUV, UL approval and C-DOT, CACT, LCSO, RDSO, JSS and other major Indian approvals. Its engineering team is happy to meet your specialized requirements for RoHS compliant boards, Electrolytic Gold over Nickel plating, ENIG, peelable solder mask, etc.

SCL tests 100% of its orders on 2 German Bare board Testers (BBT machines from ATG), a Taiwanese Dedicated tester or three Japanese Flying Probe Testers (Microcraft). SCL’s engineering team uses advanced computer programs to verify customer designs (DfM), optimally panelise PCBs. We also suggest alternate stackups. Contact SCL and let them show you how they can save you time, problems and money with high quality PCBs!

I believe that there has been a lot of bluster and that the US and China trade war will be settled soon.  However, US and European companies are “realising the need to de-risk their supply chain as well as their manufacturing operations. Most of the large US companies are looking at not only India but Vietnam, Cambodia and other South-east Asian countries to set up world-class manufacturing units and reduce their dependence on China.”.

The advantage India has is its large domestic market and skilled engineers in addition to being a good base for  manufacturing.  Government programs like M-SIPs help “The scheme provides a capital subsidy of up to 25% for units engaged in electronic manufacturing and reimburses countervailing duties/excise duty to attract investments.”

Mobile phone manufacturing in India is starting “Interestingly, there are currently 240 companies in India which are making electronics products and about half of them (127 companies) are manufacturing mobile phones with Noida and Greater Noida in northern India emerging as a mobile phone manufacturing hub, having 57 factories alone” 

According to a recent UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report, India will emerge as one of the largest beneficiaries of the trade war between the US and China, with a potential increase in exports up to $10 billion or 3.5% of its exports

The bare PCB market is forecast to grow from US$ 2.02 billion in 2017 to US$5.35 billion in 2023 driven by government initiatives such as “Make in India” / “Digital India” etc., the increasing use of consumer gadgets, computers, tablets and smartphones and the exploding growth in automotive electronics, defense, industrial, high-tech, medical and aviation electronics. The Indian Government is encouraging Electric Vehicles. The Defense Off set policy is increasingly effective.

India is the largest and fastest growing consumer electronics market in the Asia Pacific region. Bare PCBs are a foundation for electronics and with the increasing tariffs on electronics imports into India local manufacture is increasing dramatically.
