Source India – ELCINA ESDM Portal was formally Launched

Development of this Online Portal is an important and significant initiative taken by ELCINA in consultation with MeitY and has been supported by MeitY. This idea came up during the discussions of ELCINA’s EMS Task Force meetings where the need for creation of a valuable platform for the Indian ESDM industry was highlighted. ELCINA took the lead to develop this portal under the guidance of its committee and senior officers from MeitY.

ELCINA ESDM portal aims to provide a B2B platform to all the companies which are associated with electronic systems design and manufacturing in India to list their products which are accessible to the buyers. The portal would enable buyers to identify suitable suppliers of inputs and services and send the enquiries online. This will centralise information about the capabilities of the dispersed electronics industry in the country and become a single window of information. This information would be available to the ESDM companies domestically as well as seamlessly across the global supply chain where Indian companies get connected as potential suppliers.

 

 

ELCINA ESDM Portal is Free for all the companies Manufacturing electronics or part of the electronics Value Chain for first year. Please create your profile on the portal today. If you have any queries, please write to support@sourceindia-electronics.com or yogesh@elcina.com

IT Layoffs: These are the most 'riskiest,' 'safest' jobs in tech industry

For years big tech jobs were thought of as the most secure jobs, but the stories of layoffs have made aspirants reluctant to join the IT industry. The prospective recruits are now thinking twice about their career at the IT industry's leading companies. For the past few decades, big tech companies are offering six-figure startling salaries straight out of school. But with massive layoffs, the pipeline of talent is starting to buckle as aspirants are thinking twice about hiring. Microsoft, which hired 58,000 people in the two years following the start of the pandemic, said last month that it was cutting 10,000 positions. The layoffs announced by Alphabet, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Meta total 41,000 so far.

In China, Tesla could win electric vehicle price battle - but lose the war

Slashed prices have given Tesla's China sales a pop, but analysts - and even fans - warn the U.S. automaker needs to up its long-term game to avoid choking on the dust of fast-moving rivals in the world's biggest electric vehicle market. Most immediately, Tesla's January price cuts drove deliveries of its China-made vehicles up 18% from December. Tesla's thick profit margins have put it in a position to take a price war to competitors in China and beyond, analysts say. But they say Tesla has lagged competitors in China in introducing new models, improving navigation systems and adding luxe interior touches or white-glove customer service to serve the developing range of consumer preferences for EVs.

Electric vehicles likely to equal petrol cars in price this year: Report

Sticker prices for electric vehicles (EVs) are falling closer to the point at which they could soon be on a par with gasoline cars. Increased competition, government incentives and falling prices for lithium and other battery materials are making EVs more affordable. The tipping point when EVs become as cheap or cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines could arrive this year for mass market models and is already the case for some luxury vehicles. Prices are likely to continue trending lower as Tesla, General Motors, Ford Motor and their battery suppliers ramp up new factories, reaping the cost savings that come from mass production.

  • Further USD 53.5 Bn is finished Electronic Goods imports of which USD 17 Bn is EMS value. Thus total EMS opportunity loss is US$ 32.5 Bn (15.5 +17).

  • The report estimates that EMS production can grow realistically from USD 23.5 Bn today to USD 152 Bn by 2025 at CAGR of 45%. This will meet 75% of the countries EMS requirement of US$ 203 Bn by 2025 against a total estimated market of 400 Bn.
