The fact is that component manufacturing industry in India has not actually taken off in a big way. India is still importing a significant amount of component, even though a number of MNC companies has established their electronic production units in the nation. In the present scenario, the nation imports about 95% of its components from the electronics industry thereby resulting in rise in the cost of end products due to increasing manufacturing cost. This is due to the fact that there is no duty of imports.

On the other hand, with the increasing demand for components from the local manufacturing companies, defence sector, medical sector, lighting industry and telecom industry, manufacture of electronic components is likely to attract huge investment. Apart from this since the government of India is planning to introduce national manufacturing policy, the electronic component manufacturing sector is expected to get the boost it requires.
