PMO panel seeks multinational companies' inputs on making India electronics hub

However, Chinese companies such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Huawei, which have captured over half of India’s smartphone market, were not part of the export panel meeting.

NEW DELHI: A high-level panel set up by the Prime Minister’s Office has sought inputs from over a dozen global companies, including Apple, Samsung and Intel, on what they need to make to make India their production base and an electronics export hub, underlining New Delhi’s aggressive push to attract foreign investment by wooing manufacturers away from China.

“The panel met with Taiwanese, Korean, American and European companies last week and is now working out a report on how to ease our domestic policies and wean these companies away to India as soon as possible,” a person briefed on the meeting told ET. Chinese companies were not a part of the meeting.

Well sooner or later they will also chose to use india ind exports but as of now, their home turf (China) is good enough for their international exports while Indian manufacturing units cater only to Indian and friendly south asian nations.

However, Its the non Chinese tech giants who will start exports from India, due to all the known reasons. {I would say US & Allies - China trade wars}

What are the key reasons behind India’s rising electronic exports?

HCL Tech acquires Sankalp Semiconductor

Sankalp, with 5000+ man-years of experience in the semiconductor design space, brings strong capabilities in analog, digital and mixed-signal chip design. It provides end-to-end solutions in the Automotive, Consumer, IoT, Medical Electronics, Networking and Wireless domains.

“Sankalp will complement our strong semiconductor offerings and help offer a wider range of services to our customers in the analog and mixed-signal space. Sankalp will operate as a 100% subsidiary of HCL,” GH Rao, President – Engineering and R&D Services, HCL Technologies, said.

This strategic acquisition would enable HCL to further expand into newer market-domains, especially in analog and mixed-signal design, he said.

Developed Vikram Processor To Guide Future Rockets, Says ISRO Official
The rocket for the first time was fitted with Vikram Processor designed, developed and fabricated by the Chandigarh based Semi-Conductor Laboratory coming under Department of Space.

India's PSLV-C47 rocket on Wednesday morning successfully put into orbit CARTOSAT-3

Sriharikota: All future Indian rockets will be fitted with the indigenously designed and built Vikram Processor that guided the rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C47 (PSLV-C47) on Wednesday to complete its mission successfully.

India's PSLV-C47 rocket on Wednesday morning successfully put into orbit the country's advanced earth observation satellite CARTOSAT-3 and 13 nano satellites from the US.

The rocket for the first time was fitted with Vikram Processor designed, developed and fabricated by the Chandigarh based Semi-Conductor Laboratory coming under Department of Space.

"All the future Indian rockets will fly guided by the indigenously developed Vikram Processor," a senior official of Indian Space Research Organsation (ISRO) told IANS.

India has two family of rockets -- PSLV and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). The ISRO is also developing a Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) with a capacity to carry 500 kg satellites.

The Vikram Processor is used for rocket's navigation, guidance and control and also for general processing applications.

According to B.R. Biju, Mission Director for Cartosat-3 Mission, for the first time the indigenously designed Vikram Processor was used in PSLV-C47 rocket and its performance was fantastic.

Interestingly, the Vikram Processor has brought in an added cheer for the Indian space officials after another Vikram -- the moon lander -- that crash landed on the lunar surface this September putting the officials into a gloomy mood.

New Graphene-based supercapacitor will provide energy in defense applications





Efforts are being made to look for economical and more effective options for storing electrical energy. Indian researchers are now developing an economical Graphene-based supercapacitor that can emerge as an effective alternative to providing energy to various applications, including state-of-the-art military equipment, mobile devices, and modern vehicles.

Supercapacitors, also known as ultra-capacitors, are electrochemical devices used for the storage of electrical energy, whose popularity is growing rapidly. The activated carbon is an expensive material commonly used to produce such ultra-capacitors. Graphene has been used in the newly developed ultra-capacitors, which has reduced its weight as well as cost by ten times.

Researchers say that the cost of activated carbon used in other supercapacitors available in the market is up to Rs 1 lakh per kg. Scientists at the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI), Durgapur, have developed a new technique for making graphene oxide, which is being used to produce new ultra-capacitors.

CMERI scientist Dr. Naresh Chandra Murmu told India Science Wire that “Scientists have developed a technique for producing graphene oxide. The production cost of one kilogram of graphene oxide using this technique comes to around ten thousand rupees, which is much lesser than the cost of activated carbon used in supercapacitors. We have modified the surface of graphene oxide in our research, due to which it has also succeeded in reducing its weight. We have now reached the advanced stage of making ultra-capacitors by using this graphene oxide, which can be useful in various sectors.”

Former Senior Defense Development Research Organization (DRDO) official M.H. Rahman said that such devices not only cater to civilian applications but can be applied in strategic and defense applications as well. Mr. Rahaman also explained that the Graphene-based Ultra-capacitor, which is at the advanced stage of development at CSIR-CMERI has the potential to solve the energy and power requirement in various sectors. He was speaking during an event held recently at CMERI.

They charge ridiculous amounts of money, but their stuff is far from basic, infact their hardwares are one of the best out there.

Very minority of the Indian population has the money to buy I phones, most of us just do away with 20,000 or below phone.
That's how redmi oppo and vivo made a market in India my catering to middle class.
If u want to capture Indian Market start with making a budget phone and then gradually up scale.

True, once you get addicted to iPhone quality, you’ll find it extremely difficult to compromise with Androids made by Chinese and Koreans.

Phone maybe built by Chinese or Korean but Android is still American and it's getting only better .

Only software. Hardware is no match.
Even the philosophy underlying both are entirely different.
PS: android was originally the cheap copy of iPhone/iOS for masses
