Important Sectors

The test and measurement (T&M) industry in India continues to grow, and is expected to achieve a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30 per cent over the next five years. Owing to the growth in sectors like power, automobiles, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical sciences, telecommunications hardware, defence and other government sectors, industry experts estimate the T&M instruments market to touch Rs 1 billion in the near future. The growing domestic demand for electronic products has also led to an increase in the number of manufacturers (both domestic and MNCs) in the T&M space. Electronics Bazaar has attempted to rank the Top 10 T&M manufacturers in India on the basis of their revenues for the FY 2010-11, which were verified from the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India. Unfortunately, as none of the companies, barring a few, have filed their current revenues with the MCA, we had to rank them based on the previous year’s turnover. Despite procuring the balance sheets, some major MNCs did not wish to publish their turnovers and declined to participate in this feature. Also, some major companies could not be included in the ranking as they declined to share their revenue figures with us, nor could we procure their balance sheets from the MCA website. The revenues of all the companies reflect their INR (`) billing only. The revenues of all the companies except Megger and Tektronix are their consolidated revenues of different business including T&M. However, T&M is their major business. While this survey is by no means comprehensive, it does provide a glimpse into many of India’s key T&M instruments manufacturers.

Driven by demand from consumer electronics, telecom and mobile devices and industrial electronics, electronic component industry is estimated to touch nearly US $10 billion this year. This growth gives an impetus to the businesses of the component distributors in India—both domestic and foreign companies. However, domestic players still find it tough to compete with the foreign companies in terms of reach, quality and price. Despite all hurdles, the electronic component distributors’ base in India is becoming stronger by the day, and to give a glimpse of this sector, Electronics Bazaar has attempted to list out the leading distributors in India. Our research is based on the turnover of the companies, feedback from industry experts and individual company inputs. Disclaimer: While Electronics Bazaar editorial team has taken utmost care to contact all possible sources to make the list comprehensive, we may have inadvertently left out a few companies from this list. We have also not included companies who are exclusively dealing in semiconductor components.By Richa Chakravarty Driven by demand from consumer electronics, telecom and mobile devices and industrial electronics, electronic component industry is estimated to touch nearly US $10 billion this year.
