Boost localisation of automotive parts, reduce import dependency: Amitabh Kant

The Indian automobile and components industry must eliminate its import dependence on China for a host of automotive parts and must focus on localisation of such items, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said on Thursday. Speaking at the 61st Annual Session of Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), he said electric four-wheelers will also be considered for incentives under the FAME II scheme, once there is 100 per cent saturation of electric buses in the nine cities selected under the programme. "A wide array of disruptions, such as global supply chain rebalancing, government incentives to increase exports and technology disruptions are creating opportunities at all levels of the automotive value chain. These must be seen as opportunities. It is very important that industry participants see a clear highway and it is time for the industry to drive the machine at full throttle," Kant said.

Wistron partners with India's Optiemus in boost for electronics manufacturing

Wistron Corp (3231.TW) of Taiwan is partnering with India's Optiemus Electronics (OPTI.NS) to build products such as smartphones and laptops, a boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push to make the country an electronics manufacturing hub. As part of the deal with contract manufacturer Wistron, Optiemus will invest roughly $200 million to ramp up electronics manufacturing in the next three to five years, the two companies said. The partnership is expected to yield revenues of 380 billion rupees ($5.13 billion) over five years for Optiemus, the company said, adding that it plans to hire roughly 11,000 workers for its two plants on the outskirts of New Delhi. It has a workforce of just about 300 now. "Wistron wants to grow its footprint in India, Optiemus wants to leverage the government initiatives (in electronics manufacturing) so it makes sense to come together from a win-win point of view," Optiemus managing director A Gururaj, who once led Wistron in India, told Reuters.

Government has approved Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Auto Industry and Drone Industry

Taking steps forward towards the vision of an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, Government led by Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has approved the PLI Scheme for Automobile Industry and Drone Industry with a budgetary outlay of ₹ 26,058 crore. The PLI scheme for the auto sector will incentivize high value Advanced Automotive Technology vehicles and products. It will herald a new age in higher technology, more efficient and green automotive manufacturing. PLI Scheme for Automobile Industry and Drone Industry is part of the overall announcement of PLI Schemes for 13 sectors made earlier during the Union Budget 2021-22, with an outlay of ₹ 1.97 lakh crore. With the announcement of PLI Schemes for 13 sectors, minimum additional production in India is expected to be around ₹ 37.5 lakh crore over 5 years and minimum expected additional employment over 5 years is nearly 1 crore.

The PLI Scheme for the auto sector envisages to overcome the cost disabilities to the industry for manufacture of Advanced Automotive Technology products in India. The incentive structure will encourage industry to make fresh investments for indigenous global supply chain of Advanced Automotive Technology products. It is estimated that over a period of five years, the PLI Scheme for Automobile and Auto Components Industry  will lead to fresh investment of over  ₹42,500 crore,  incremental production of over  ₹2.3 lakh crore and will create additional employment opportunities of over 7.5 lakh jobs. Further this will increase India’s share in global automotive trade. The PLI Scheme for auto sector is open to existing automotive companies as well as new investors who are currently not in automobile or auto component manufacturing business. The scheme has two components viz Champion OEM Incentive Scheme and Component Champion Incentive Scheme. The Champion OEM Incentive scheme is a ‘sales value linked’ scheme, applicable on Battery Electric Vehicles and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles of all segments. The Component Champion Incentive scheme is a ‘sales value linked’ scheme, applicable on Advanced Automotive Technology components of vehicles, Completely Knocked Down (CKD)/ Semi Knocked Down (SKD) kits, Vehicle aggregates of 2-Wheelers, 3-Wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and tractors etc.

This PLI Scheme for automotive sector along with the already launched PLI scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) (₹18,100 crore) and Faster Adaption of Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) (₹10,000 crore) will enable India to leapfrog from traditional fossil fuel based automobile transportation system to environmentally cleaner, sustainable, advanced and more efficient Electric Vehicles (EV) based system. The PLI Scheme for the Drones and Drone components industry addresses the strategic, tactical and operational uses of this revolutionary technology. A product specific PLI scheme for drones with clear revenue targets and focus on domestic value addition is key to building capacity and making these key drivers of India’s growth strategy. The PLI for Drones and Drone components industry, will over a period of three years, lead to investments worth ₹ 5,000 Crore, increase in eligible sales of ₹ 1500 crore and create additional employment of about 10,000 jobs.

China's two-week port closure to have a mixed impact on India's trade

China’s Ningbo Port being shut for 2 weeks is having a mixed impact on India trade, as the port blockage is hurting local electronics market at one end, while container shortage issue in the domestic market is getting addressed albeit for a short period. “Some empty container vessels from China had to be diverted to India upon port closure and this has improved (empty) containers supply for the domestic market. Though this supply ease would last only for another three weeks, we (industry) are expecting at least 10 percent of the shortage to be addressed in this span,” Arun Garodia, vice chairman of EEPC India, told Business Standard.  India has been facing acute shortage of containers since November 2020 leading to ocean freight rates having zoomed 5-7 times within a span of 8-9 months. “Though the availability of empty containers is improving for India, there is no respite from high ocean freight for the industry,” Garodia added.

Digital health IDs face privacy challenge

Last month, the Delhi and Tamil Nadu governments announced plans to introduce digital health identities (IDs) for their residents. The aim is to use the power of cloud computing to allow users access to their health records from just about anywhere. Delhi and Tamil Nadu’s systems are in line with the National Health Policy (NHP), 2017, which aimed to implement the National Health Stack (NHS), for which a committee under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) produced the National Digital Health Blueprint (NDHB)--an action plan to “comprehensible and holistically implement digital health". "Using a Health ID is the first step towards creating safer and efficient digital health records for you and your family. You can opt-in to create a digitally secure Health ID, which allows you to access and share your health data with your consent...," explains the government's National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) website.

Dealing with the discarded: E-Waste management in India

An individual on an average checks his / her phone 58 times in 16 waking hours. This simple statistic points to the fact that technology plays a dominant role in our lives.  But the increase in its use, coupled with extremist consumerist patterns, has not come without shedding some ill-effects on the environment. Data suggests that two out of five Indians replace their smartphones every year. This begs the question: Where does all the e-waste go? The unprecedented generation of e-waste is a cause of concern. The International Telecommunication Union defines e-waste as all items of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and its parts that have been discarded by its owner as waste without the intent of re-use. This waste is classified into six categories: Cooling and freezing equipment like refrigerators, freezer other equipment such as televisions, monitors, laptops, notebooks and tablets.

Facebook to bring voice and video calling to main app

Facebook Inc is letting some users make voice and video calls within its main app on a trial basis, aiming to make it easier to place calls without opening its standalone Messenger app. The social media giant spun out Messenger from its main app years ago, meaning users would have to download a separate app in order to send messages and make calls.
Facebook has been trying to tie together messaging across its suite of apps and first enabled it between Instagram and Messenger last September. The move enabled users of each service to find, message and hold video calls with contacts on the other without needing to download both apps. It plans to eventually integrate WhatsApp into the mix.
However, a Facebook spokesperson said on Monday that for a full-featured messaging, audio and video call experience, people should continue using Messenger.

Govt mulls ways to let telcos pay AGR dues over 20 years

The government is exploring ways to allow telcos such as Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel to pay their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues over 20 years, and may seek a legal opinion on a possible mechanism, government officials said. Separately, the process to finalise a relief package for the sector is picking up pace. Any government bid to relax the AGR payment tenure needs to take into account the Supreme Court ruling, which mandated telcos to pay their dues over 10 years, through March 31, 2031. This was despite the cabinet having recommended a 20-year time frame to pay those dues.

The rising spectre of a telecom monopoly

With its gross debt as of March 31, 2021 placed at ₹1.8 lakh crore and losses in the preceding quarter totalling more than ₹7,000 crore, Vi (former Vodafone Idea), once India’s largest telecom company in terms of subscriber base, is staring at bankruptcy. In a last-ditch effort to win state support to survive, Kumar Mangalam Birla, the Chairman of Vi, wrote to the government in June, offering to hand over the Aditya Birla Group’s close to 27 per cent stake in Vi. He later also stepped down as Chairman of Vi, as if to show his offer was credible. The ‘shares for free’ offer was contingent on an official rescue package that would include revisiting the company’s adjusted gross revenue (AGR) liability, announcing a moratorium on spectrum charges and getting the regulator to set floor telecom tariffs above the low levels to which they had fallen because of the predatory price war launched by Reliance Jio.

“Indian Printed Circuit Board Industry & Market Research Report

The evolution of miniaturization and sub-miniaturization in the design of electronic equipment led to the emergence of a new technique of inter-component wiring and assembly known as the printed circuit board (PCB). This technology has now become the backbone of electronic devices. They provide the required mechanical support structure and electrical connect for the circuit. In addition to providing the connectivity, they also help to reduce the overall size and enhance the efficiency of the device.

• By 2020, the electronics market in India is expected to increase with a CAGR of 25.1 per cent to USD 400 billion from USD 104 billion in 2015

• Currently only 35% of this demand is currently being met by local manufacturers. And for the rest 65%, India is still dependent on imports.

• Hence, PCB- being the backbone of electronics holds a huge demand in India - Current demand of USD 2.01 Billion represents the demand based on the total PCBs (which includes both the bare board PCBs and the populated PCBs)

• Current market size for bare PCBs is USD 1.2 Billion - Only 30% of this demand for bare PCBs is currently being met by local PCB manufacturers. And for the rest 70%, India.
