“India is now capable not only of manufacturing but also of designing advanced electronic products,” he said. “This gives us a significant edge over other countries that lack strong design capabilities.”

In addition, Vaishnaw outlined a three-tier skilling strategy tailored for the high-tech electronics sector. This includes:
These initiatives aim to prepare a highly skilled workforce, especially for capital-intensive roles that are crucial to the electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
As India cements its position in global electronics manufacturing, the government’s forward-looking policies and strong public-private partnerships are expected to drive further growth.
