Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industry in India

The Indian electronics industry is poised for significant growth thanks to enormous demand in the domestic market and an ongoing shift to building an end-to-end manufacturing ecosystem. This growth is being encouraged both by government policies, incentives and by international investment. Its key and most resource-intensive segment, the semiconductor industry has substantial potential for growth since demand is growing briskly. Semiconductors are required by a large number of industries, including telecommunications, information technology (IT), IT enabled Services (ITeS), Office Automation (OA), industrial machinery and automation, medical electronics, automobile, engineering, power and solar photovoltaic, defense and aerospace, consumer electronics, and appliances. According to a NOVONOUS report, a steady and significant spurt in the semiconductor industry will increase the domestic market size fivefold during 2013-2020.

Statistics and trends

Market-size

India's electronics market, one of the largest in the world in terms of consumption, is predicted to grow to approximately US$400 billion by 2020 from $69.6 billion in 2012, largely led by up-surge in demand, growing at a projected compound annual growth rate of close to 25% over the period.[1]

In 2013-14, 65℅ of demand for electronic products was met through importing. According to a Frost & Sullivan-IESA data analysis, five high priority product categories together account for 60% of the overall electronic consumption. In descending order, these are mobile phones (38.85%), flat panel display television (7.91%), notebooks (5.54%) and desktops (4.39℅).[2] India’s appliance and consumer electronics market, which was worth US$9.7 billion in 2014, is predicted to grow at a compound annual rate of 13.4%, and reach $20.6 billion by 2020. Within consumer electronics segment, set top boxes are seen as the fastest growing category, with Y-o-Y growth predicted to be 28.8℅ between 2014-2020, followed by the television category at 20%, refrigerators at 10%, washing machines at 8-9% and air-conditioners at around 6-7%.[3]

In 2013, demand for IT electronics in India was estimated to be valued at around US$13 billion.[4]

The market opportunity for aerospace and defence (A&D) electronics in India is predicted to be worth upwards of US$70 billion by 2029-2030, of which around US$55 billion may be generated from electronics which are part of the platforms to be procured and rest from system-of-system projects.[5]

Domestic production

The total domestic productions of electronic goods during 2012-13, 2013–14 and 2014–15 were INR 1,64,172 crore, INR 1,80,454 crore and INR 1,90,366 crore, respectively.[6] The electronics hardware manufacturing industry in India is projected to produce electronic goods worth $104 billion by 2020 from US$32.462 billion in 2013–14. In FY13, India's share in global electronics hardware production was 1.6%. The communication and broadcasting equipment segment constituted 31℅, thereby having a dominant share in the total production of electronic goods in India in FY13, followed by consumer electronics at 23℅.[7] Of the smartphones shipped in the country in the April–June quarter of 2015, 24.8% were either manufactured or assembled in India, up from 19.9% in the previous quarter.[8][9][10] Of the 220 million mobile sets shipped in India in 2015-16,around 110 million mobile phones have been either made or assembled in India in the last year, compared to 60 million earlier.[11] Mobile handset manufacturing in 2015-16 grew by 185℅ in value terms to ₹54,000 crore from ₹19,000 crore in the previous year.[12] According to an ASSOCHAM-EY study titled Turning the Make in India dream into a reality for electronics and hardware industry , the Indian electronics and hardware industry was expected to grow at a CAGR of 13%–16% in 2013–18 to reach $112–130 billion by 2018 from a 2016 level of $75 billion.[13] According to a report of the NITI Aayog published in May 2016, the electronics industry's contribution to GDP is only 1.7% in India, compared to 15.5% in Taiwan, 15.1% in South Korea and 12.7% in China.[14]

In 2014, the level of localized input/value addition for televisions was around 25-30% as the panels, semiconductors and the glass needed for manufacturing LCD/LED TVs had to be imported. For air-conditioners, localization was about 30-40% as the compressor, refrigerant, motor and coil were imported. About 35-40% of components for set-top boxes were sourced domestically. The localized content for washing machines and refrigerators was at around 70%.[3]

In mobile phone assembly in India, around only 2-8℅ localized value addition is reported to be created in 2016.[12]

Exports and imports

India is a net importer of electronics goods, with the majority of India's imported electronics coming from China. In 2015, electronics overtook gold and is placed immediately after crude oil as the second most valued category of imports to the country.[15]

Exports

Electronics exports from India were estimated to be around $7.66 billion in FY13, a slight decline from $8.15  billion in FY12, although in INR terms, they grew from 44000 crore rupees to 46300 crore rupees in the same period, owing to depreciation of the rupee. The telecom segment dominated India's electronics exports in 2013–14, followed by electronic components, instruments, consumer electronics and computing. Technological improvements and competitive cost effectiveness are thought to be the key drivers behind the growing demand for Indian electronics products abroad. In rupee terms, Indian electronic hardware exports almost doubled from 109940 crore in 2009-10 to 196103 crore in 2013–14.[7] In FY14, India's electronics exports declined to $6 billion, forming 0.28% of the global electronics trade.[15]

Imports

The total imports of electronic goods during 2012-13, 2013–14, and 2014–15, were estimated to be worth INR 1,79,000 crore (US$28 billion), INR 1,95,900 crore (US$31 billion) and INR 2,25,600 crore (US$37 billion) respectively.[6] The importation of phones has increased sharply from $665.47 million in 2003-04 to $10.9 billion in 2013-14, according to the commerce ministry data. Import of phones from China has grown from a $64.61 million to $7 billion during the same period.[16] In 2013-14, India's electronics trade deficit was valued at US$23.5 billion, of which China accounted for 67℅. From around $28 billion in FY11, the importation of electronics could reach $40 billion in FY16.[15] As of 2016, local manufacturing of electronics has risen, beginning a turnaround at a time when Indian exports have been relatively weak. In January 2016, electronic imports, which accounted for 27% of India's yearly trade deficit, shrank by 2.2% to $3.2 billion, while electronic exports rose 7.8% to $0.5 billion.[17]

Government initiatives

To promote overall growth and open job opportunities, projected to be more than 28 million by attracting investments worth $100 billion, the Indian central government has sought to reduce the country's electronics import bill from 65% in 2014–15 to 50% in 2016 and gradually to a net-zero electronics trade by 2020.[18] India has pursued a two-pronged strategy of import substitution and export encouragement, through the Make in India campaign coupled with the Digital India campaign, along with the Startup India[19] and the Skill India campaigns. The government has fostered an environment conducive to foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow in a number of ways, as outlined in the National Electronics Policy[20] and the National Telecom Policy.[21]

The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog), a policy think-tank under the Indian central government, has suggested in a draft report[26] that a policy be adopted to provide a tax holiday for a period of ten years to firms investing US$1 billion or more that also create 20,000 jobs. The report, hinting at a policy tilt toward the Information Technology Agreement-2 (ITA -2),[27] also suggests that India should re-strategize its defensive policies regarding Free Trade agreements (FTAs) and aggressively pursue export-oriented policies to utilize these FTAs as opportunities to obtain duty-free access to the electronics markets of its FTA partners.[28]

Investments in the electronics sector

The electronics sector in India attracted foreign direct investment or FDI (equity capital component only, and after excluding the amount remitted through Reserve Bank of India's NRI schemes) worth $1.636 billion between April 2000 and March 2016, which was 0.57% of the cumulative FDI equity inflow worth $288.51 billion the country received in the same period.[29]

As of February 2016, the government has received 156 proposals with investment commitments worth INR1.14 lakh crore or $16.8 billion in the previous 20 months, according to the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), an organisation that promotes local manufacture of computer hardware and electronic goods in India.[30]

As of June 2016, the Indian electronics sector expects investments worth of US$56 billion over the next four years to fulfill its goal of generating exports worth over US$80 billion by 2020.[31]

As of August 2016, India has attracted investments from 37 mobile manufacturing companies in the last one year, creating 40,000 direct jobs and around 125,000 indirect jobs.[11]

As of May 2016, out of 195 investment proposals, worth INR 1.21 lakh crore, the government has approved 74 applications amounting to Rs 17,300 crore, while 27 proposals have been declined.[32]

Semiconductor industry

With the newly heralded era of Internet of Things (IoT)[52][53][54] dictating that the new generation of interconnected devices be capable of smart-computing, Indian semiconductor industry is set for a stable upsurge with bright prospects provided India's generic obstacles like redtape-ism, fund crunch and infrastructural deficits are adequately addressed.

Statistics and trends

The fast growing electronics system design manufacturing ( ESDM ) industry in India has vibrant design capabilities with the number of units exceeding 120. As stated by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), approximately 2,000 chips are being designed in India every year with more than 200,000 engineers currently employed to work on various aspects of IC design and verification.[55] According to a NOVONOUS report, the consumption of semiconductors in India, mostly import-based, is estimated to rise from $10.02 billion in 2013 to $52.58 billion by 2020 at a dynamic CAGR of 26.72%. The report estimates that the consumption of mobile devices will grow at a CAGR of 33.4% between 2013 and 2020, driving the share of mobile devices in semiconductor revenue up from 35.4% in 2013 to 50.7% in 2020. Moreover, the telecom segment is also expected to rise at a CAGR of 26.8 per cent during 2013-20. The information technology and office automation segment is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% in the same period. The consumer electronics segment also is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.8% over the seven years. The automotive electronics segment is expected to grow at 30.5% CAGR from 2013 to 2020. The EDSM industry will also grow on the back of these high consumption-led industries.[56] Currently, almost all the semiconductor demand is met by importing from countries like the USA, Japan, and Taiwan. In the semiconductor sector India has a significant human-capital pool which is currently concentrated in design, in the absence of an end-to-end manufacturing base. But the nascent ESDM segment in India is premised on competent domestic research by Indian universities and institutes across the entire semiconductor manufacturing value chain; namely, chip design and testing, embedded systems, process related, EDA, MEMS and sensors, etc., which have contributed to a voluminous number of research publications.[57]

Initiatives in the semiconductor industry

As of 2016, the government allows 100% FDI in ESDM sector through an automatic route to attract investments including from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs), and those relocating to India from other countries, in addition to EMC, MSIPS and other incentives and schemes provided to the electronics sector.[58]

The Department of Electronics and information Technology (DeitY), in line with Skill India[59] campaign has launched an INR 49 crore scheme for capacity building in ESDM.[60] In October 2015, Infineon Technologies, a German semiconductor firm partnered with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC)[61] to enhance skill and manpower in semiconductor technology, aimed at boosting the ESDM ecosystem in India.[62]

The India Electronics & Semiconductor Association (IESA)[63] has announced a SPEED UP and SCALE UP of its talent development initiative to be implemented through the Centre of Excellence with Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and an MoU with the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) and the RV-VLSI Design Center to build human capital in the ESDM field.[64] ESSCI, which has developed over 140 Qualification Packs (QP) / National Occupation Standards (NOS) across 14 sub-sectors of which Embedded System Design and VLSI are key domains absorbing engineers, established their first-ever Centre of Excellence (CoE) at BMS college of Engineering for VLSI and embedded system design.[65] IESA signed an MoU with Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (TEEMA) to encourage co-operation in technology and knowledge transfer and investment commitment to domestic ESDM sector that can benefit both Indian and Taiwanese companies.[66] IESA also entered into an MoU with Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA) in February 2015, with an objective to forge trade and technical cooperation tie-ups between the electronics and semiconductor industries of both the countries.[67]

The Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) has established an Electronics development Fund (EDF) managed by Canara Bank ( CANBANK Venture Capital Funds or CVCFL) to provide risk capital and to attract venture funds, angel funds and seed funds for incubating R&D and fostering innovative environment in the sector.[6][68] As of June 2016, the establishment of “Fund of Funds for Start-ups” (FFS) approved by the union cabinet as part of the EDF for contribution to various Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) or daughter funds, registered with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) which would extend funding support to Start-ups,in line with the Start-up India Action Plan unveiled by Government in January 2016, will be beneficial to the start-ups in the ESDM space, according to IESA.[69]

The National Centre for Flexible Electronics (NCFlexE) at IIT Kanpur, the National Centre for Excellence in Technology for Internal Security (NCETIS) at IIT Bombay and the Centre for Excellence for Internet of Things at NASSCOM, Bengaluru have been set up to promote the development of national capability in ESDM.[6]

Recent notable achievements in ESDM Research and Development

In 2011, India-based semiconductor chip design services entity SoCtronics completed the first 28 nm design chip to be developed in India.[70] Bangalore-based Indian company Navika Electronics has designed GNSS/GPS SoC(System on Chip) chipsets based on ARM core processors under its own brandname for portable applications like receiving/down conversion and amplification of GPS and Galileo signals.[71]

The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), IISc, Bengaluru, in collaboration with KAS Tech, a Bengaluru based electronics manufacturing company, has developed 'Ocean', a highly integrated and portable chemical vapour depositor that can commercially produce various two dimensional materials including graphene, in an easy 'plug and grow' approach which can have various novel applications in the ESDM sector, for both academia and industry alike.[72]

Investments in Semiconductor Industry in India

In 2014, the ESDM industry was projected to see investment proposals worth Rs 10,000 crore (US$1.5 billion) over the next two years, along with five partially state-funded start-up incubation centres of the 250 planned by the industry-body, as per IESA.[73]

Miscellaneous Investments in Semiconductor Industry

Investments on fabrication plants in India

As of mid 2016, there are no operational commercial Semiconductor fabrication plants in India.

The Centre of Excellence in Nanoelectronics (CEN), at the Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay, has a lab-like fab facility collaborated between IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore that offers research in design, fabrication and characterization of traditional CMOS Nano-electronic devices, Novel Material based devices (III-V Compound Semiconductor devices, Spintronics, Opto-electronics), Micro Electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS), NEMS, Bio-MEMS, polymer based devices and solar Photovoltaics to researchers across academia, industry and government laboratories, all over India. The center also offers support in device fabrication technologies using sophisticated equipment under the Indian Nano Users Program (INUP) and acts as a linchpin for developing innovative technologies that can be tweaked and commercialized for spurring the nano-industrial growth in India.[80]

In February 2014, the union cabinet approved setting up of these two fab proposals with decision to extend incentives as follows:

Critics and detractors of the fab projects currently underway in India, in different conceptual phases, doubt the prospects of success of these capital-intensive projects, pointing to reasons like marginal profitability due to overcapacity of output in a saturated and fiercely competed fab market, noncompetence of these particular fabs in terms of cost and performance related to the dimensions of CMOS nodes even in attracting domestic end-use industries which have access to the more sophisticated fabs outside the country, cost prohibitive maintenance and upgrades needed every few years to weather obsolescence, nonavailability of domestically procurable semiconductor-grade materials in absence of complementing ancillary manufacturing industries and other resource-intensive strings attached to such projects, including land acquisition requirements,necessity uninterrupted deionised water and power supplies, supply of critical gases such as nitrogen and argon, absence of skilled labour force and drain of an already inadequate number of experienced domestic talent pool in electronic engineering and R&D possessing expertise to overcome the barriers of related sensitive technologies for mass production towards other attractive sectors in absence of a major Indian player in the electronics sector, especially in a developing country like India, which is still grappling with infrastructural bottlenecks.[88]

However, the endorsers of the fab projects, such as AMD, which partnered with HSMC for the fab project in Gujarat, stress the strategic need of developing the fabs as part of an end-to-end electronics manufacturing base in India which imports billions of dollars worth of even lower-end semiconductor nodes of 90 nm and above each year.[82]
