“The new policy will make India a manufacturing and export hub. Many Chinese companies are looking towards India as a manufacturing destination,” Minister for IT and Electronics Ravi Shankar Prasad said after the Cabinet meeting.

It will also create employment for one crore people, Prasad said, adding the focus would be on promoting new technologies such as artificial intelligence and medical electronics.

The $400 billion turnover will include targeted production of one billion mobile handsets by 2025, valued at $190 billion and 600 million mobile handsets valued at $110 billion for export, according to a senior official from the ministry.

A framework for comprehensive start-up ecosystem will be created in emerging technology areas such as 5G, internet of things (IoT), machine learning, drones, robotics, and their application in areas such as defence, agriculture, health, cybersecurity, smart cities and automation with a special focus on solving real-life problems.

The policy has come out with new schemes which will replace existing Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC) scheme as well as Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPs). The new schemes include interest subsidy and credit default guarantee to encourage new units and expansion of existing units in electronics manufacturing sector.

The last electronics policy was framed in 2012. Through the new policy, the aim is to incentivise and facilitate the establishment of global bases for manufacturing of components and sub-assemblies in India.

A special package will be given for mega projects which are high-tech and entail huge investments such as semiconductor facilities, display fabrication, photonics and LED chip fabrication units, including giving infrastructure status to these units, the official said.

A new Sovereign Patent Fund (SPF) will be created to promote the development and acquisition of IPs apart from promoting electronics value chain initiatives to improve national cybersecurity profile.

The new policy will enable flow of investment and technology, leading to higher value addition in the domestically manufactured electronic products, increased electronics hardware manufacturing in the country and their export, while generating substantial employment opportunities, a government statement said.
