Electronics Manufacturing Clusters Scheme to provide world-class infrastructure for attracting investments in the Electronics Systems Design and Manufacturing Sector

The Union Cabinet today approved the proposal to offer financial support for the development of Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs) as these EMCs would aid the growth of the Electronics Systems Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector, help development of entrepreneurial ecosystem, drive innovation and catalyze the economic growth of the region by increasing employment opportunities and tax revenues.

The proposed EMCs scheme would support setting up of both Greenfield and Brownfield EMCs. The main features of the proposed EMC Scheme are as follows:

• The assistance would be provided to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which should be a legal entity duly registered for this purpose. The SPV may be promoted by private companies, industry associations, financial institutions, R&D institutions, State or Local governments or their agencies and units within the EMC. The SPV should consider including an academic/research institution to be part of the proposed SPV for suitable academic-industry linkages.

• The financial assistance to the SPV shall be in the form of grant-in-aid only. For Greenfield EMCs the assistance will be restricted to 50% of the project cost subject to a ceiling of Rs. 50 crore for every 100 acres of land. For Brownfield EMCs the assistance will be restricted to 75% of the project cost subject to a ceiling of Rs. 50 crore.

• The scheme will be open for applications for five years from the date of notification.

• This is a policy decision with no automatic financial commitment. The financial assistance under the policy would be subject to approval by the Competent Authority following due process.

The proposed scheme is expected to help flow of investment for the development of world-class infrastructure specifically targeted towards attracting investment in the ESDM sector.

Nearly 28 million persons are expected to be employed, directly or indirectly for the ESDM turnover to reach USD 400 billion. The policy covers all States and districts and provides them an opportunity to attract investments in electronics manufacturing.

Background

As part of the vision to make India a leading destination for the ESDM sector, the draft National Policy on Electronics (NPE) proposes to achieve a domestic production of about USD 400 Billion by 2020 in the ESDM sector by creating an industry friendly policy framework and ecosystem which provides a level playing field for the domestic industry. The draft NPE also proposes to set up two semiconductor wafer manufacturing facilities and to create and sustain a vibrant research and development and innovation eco-system in the ESDM sector. Setting up of EMCs is an integral part of this strategy.

The importance of clusters in ESDM is a well accepted phenomenon worldwide. A well developed cluster can give a unit located in it a cost advantage of 5 to 8% because of various reasons such as increased supply chain responsiveness, consolidation of suppliers, decreased time-to-market, superior access to talent and lower logistics costs. The cluster development approach also helps in the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems which drive innovation and catalyze the economic growth of a region by increasing employment opportunities and tax revenues.

Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme to offset disability and attract investments in Electronics Systems Design and Manufacturing Industrie

The Union Cabinet today approved the proposal to provide a special incentive package to promote large-scale manufacturing in the Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector. The scheme is called the Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS). The main features of M-SIPS are as follows:

• The scheme provides subsidy for investments in capital expenditure - 20% for investments in SEZs and 25% in non-SEZs. It also provides for reimbursement of CVD/excise for capital equipment for the non-SEZ units. For high technology and high capital investment units, like fabs, reimbursement of central taxes and duties is also provided.

• The incentives are available for investments made in a project within a period of 10 years from the date of approval.

• The incentives are available for 29 category of ESDM products including telecom, IT hardware, consumer electronics, medical electronics, automotive electronics, solar photovoltaic, LEDs, LCDs, strategic electronics, avionics, industrial electronics, nano-electronics, semiconductor chips and chip components, other electronic components and EMS. Units across the value chain starting from raw materials including assembly, testing, packaging and accessories of these category of products are included. The scheme also provides incentives for relocation of units from abroad.

• The scheme is open for three years from notification.

Approvals for incentives not exceeding Rs. 10,000 crores will  be granted during the XII Plan period.

The projects with incentives of Rs 10,000 crores have potential to create employment for nearly 0.5 million persons.

The policy is expected to create an indigenous manufacturing eco-system for electronics in the country. It will foster the manufacturing of indigenously designed and manufactured chips creating a more cyber secure ecosystem in the country. It will enable India to tap on the great economic potential that this knowledge sector offers. The increased development and manufacturing in the sector will lead to greater economic growth through more manufacturing and consequently greater employment in the sector.

Industrial output shrinks 1.8% (Finance Minister talks steps to revive growth)

India’s factory output contracted by (-) 1.8% in June, the third fall in four months, data released shows.  The Finance Minister P Chidambaram promised action to halt an embarrassing slowdown in the Indian economy, which, until recently, was an engine of global growth.

Capital goods output – a proxy for investment activity – contracted by (-) 27.9% in June and business leaders ratcheted up their demand for a fresh round  of stimulus measures  including tax cuts and a cheaper bank loans to boost investment, income and employment. 

Chidambaram, who took over as finance minister recently, described the slowdown as “disappointing” obliquely hinting that a set of policies could well be round the corner to stem the crippling industrial deceleration in Asia’s third largest economy.

Services help India, China soften downturn blow (manufacturing miracles are history, services continue to surprise)

The services sectors in emerging power houses China and India grew in July at a healthy pace, providing vital support as their manufacturing sectors struggle with the global downturn.

China’s official purchasing Managers’ index (PMI) for the services sector fell to 55.6 in July from 56.7 in June, while its HSBC PMI headed in the opposite direction, rising to 53.1 from a 10-month low of 52.3 in June.

India’s non-manufacturing PMI from HSBC was little changed, slipping to 54.2 in July from 54.3 in June.

With all the PMIs above 50 – a threshold that divides expansion from contraction – the surveys signal that both services sectors are expanding.

New Offset rules allow technology transfer, relax time limits

The defence ministry (MoD) has today announced a slew of keenly anticipated modifications to its defence offset policy, which come into effect from August 1.  Transfer of technology (ToT) has been made eligible for offsets, multipliers specified, sub-vendors have been allowed to discharge offsets, and the MoD has acceded to vendor requests to relax time frames for the discharge of offsets.  For the first time, the aim of the offset policy has been spelt out clearly, making it easier for vendors to structure their offsets to satisfy Indian aims.

According to the new policy, the threefold aim of defence offsets are (a) to foster the development of internationally competitive enterprises; (b) to augment Indian capacity for research and development (R&D) and the design of defence products and services; and (c) to encourage the development of “synergistic sectors like civil aerospace and internal security.”

Acer attacks Microsoft’s move into Tablets

Acer, the world’s fourth-largest computer maker by shipments, has attached Microsoft’s move into tablets, highlighting the rift between the software group and its former PC maker allies.

JT Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive of Acer, said Microsoft’s plans to launch its surface tablet in October, in competition with his company’s Iconia and HP’s Touch Pad tablets, would be “negative for the worldwide ecosystem” in computing.

He is the first head of a big PC maker publicly to criticize Microsoft’s move.  “We have said (to Microsoft) think it over,” he told the Financial Times.  “Think twice.  It will create a huge negative impact for the ecosystem and other brands may take a negative reaction.  It is not something you are good at, so please think twice.”

Hotmail still very active, being enhanced

Sabeer Bhatia, the Indian-born co-founder of Hotmail, has hailed Microsoft’s decision to relaunch the iconic email service as Outlook.com, as the technology major not only looks to break the hegemony established by Google’s Gmail in recent years, but also bring about greater integration between  social networking  and e-mail services.  Speaking to  Economic Times from San Francisco, Bhatia, who along  with co-founder Jack Smith, sold the email service to Microsoft in 1997 for $400 million, explains the need for rebranding, which he insists, is not the “phasing out of Hotmail”, but a move targeted towards rejuvenating what was once regarded as a mainstay of the internet in the late 90s.

DoT panel suggests local sourcing of sensitive equipment

An expert group constituted by the telecom department (DoT) has listed out 56 'security sensitive' telecom products, including SIM cards, modems, set-top boxes, routers and leased line equipment among others, and recommended that mobile operators be mandated to source 80% of their requirements for such equipment from Indian companies by 2020.

The panel has also recommended to extend this to tenders of all government ministries (except defence), PSUs, government-controlled institutions and PPP-funded projects.

The panel's recommendations, submitted on August 9, sharply contradicts the commerce ministry's stance that India's plans to give preferential access to indigenously manufactured telecom equipment violates multi-lateral agreements and international commitments made by the country.

RBI allows banks to lend to Telcos for spectrum auction

The Reserve Bank of India has allowed banks to lend to telecom companies for the upcoming auction for spectrum; subject to conditions such as mortgaging the spectrum to the lenders says a top Reserve Bank of India official.

Deputy Governor Anand Sinha said the RBI had laid down a few pre-conditions for financing of telecom firms for the auction of airwaves to protect banks against potential defaults.  “We had put some conditions around it.  Essentially, it is valuation-related issues, the fact that spectrum should be available to the banks in case there is a default.

Cabinet sets base price for spectrum bids at Rs.14,000 Crores

The Union Cabinet has set the minimum price for airwaves in the upcoming auctions in the upcoming auctions at Rs.14,000 crore, attracting sharp criticism from mobile phone companies, which had been demanding an 80% reduction from the  Rs.18,000 crores proposed by sector regulator Trai.

This translates into a base price of Rs.2,800 crore for every MHz or unit of airwaves in the  1800 MHz band, which is used by mobile phone companies on the GSM platform.

Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal said the Cabinet had also approved the recommendations of the panel of ministers on spectrum to keep the reserve price of the 800 MHz band (used by telcos on the CDMA platform) at 1.3 times that of the 1800 MHz band.  This implies, the reserve price for CDMA spectrum for companies like Sistema will be Rs.18,200 crore for 5 units.

The Cabinet decided that mobile phone companies would have to share 3-8% of their annual  revenues as spectrum usage charges.  Trai had recommended that this levy be fixed at 1% while the telecom department wanted it to be fixed at 3%.

The Cabinet’s decisions are in line with the recommendations of the panel of ministers on spectrum headed by Finance Minister P Chidambaram..

Telcos look to drag govt. to court.  Explore legal options to challenge policy decisions related to upcoming sale of spectrum.

Economic Times editorially comments that high prices for spectrum are an immense setback for telecom.

ELCINA Electronic Manufacturing Model Cluster in NCR

(Invitation to members & electronics manufacturers to join)

The Union Cabinet has approved the proposal to offer financial support for the development of Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs) as these EMCs would aid the growth of the Electronics Systems Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector, help development of entrepreneurial ecosystem, drive innovation and catalyze the economic growth of the region by increasing employment opportunities and tax revenues. ELCINA has been advised by Department of Information Technology, Govt. of India to establish the first Electronics manufacturing Model Cluster in NCR Region.  ELCINA has been working on this project since last one year. The industry and Government are confident that such a project has immense potential and value for the industry and for all participants. This Cluster will provide significant benefits to all participants by way of world class infrastructure, lower land and building costs as well as support services such as test & certification, hostels for labour and staff, back-up power and logistics support etc. It can revitalize the electronics manufacturing sector and give it the much needed boost, and extricate us from the vicious cycle of high imports and low value added manufacturing.

The proposed project will facilitate establishment of small and medium sized enterprises for manufacturing electronic components, parts, materials and assemblies for the “Consumer Electronics, Lighting and Power Electronics” segments. Large units which will serve as an anchor are welcome to join the Cluster. Presently it is envisaged that the cluster area  would be between 100-150 acres and the most likely location is in Rajasthan within 75 kms of Gurgaon on Jaipur Highway. The Cluster would be managed by a SPV constituted by the members.

Presently a detailed project report is being prepared by a reputed Infrastructure Management Company and the same would be ready within 3 months. The Central Government will provide up to Rs.50 crores on Infrastructure Development Support for the Cluster which will add more value and save costs for the manufacturing units established in the Cluster.

As on date we have 21 companies who have confirmed their participation in the Cluster.  Further enrolments for the Cluster had been postponed till such time as the location could be finalized.  However, now that the location is almost finalized and Project Report is under preparation, ELCINA invites its Members to join the Cluster at the earliest date and get best advantage of lower cost for enrolment and obtaining the land and infrastructure.  Interested Members and Non-Members may kindly contact by e-mail to rajoo@elcina.com or umesh@elcina.com
