Historical Developments
The Electronics Industry in India took off around 1965 with an orientation towards spaceand defence technologies. This was rigidly controlled and initiated by the government.
This was followed by developments in consumer electronics mainly with transistorradios, Black & White TV, Calculators and other audio products. Colour Televisionssoon followed. In 1982-a significant year in the history of television in India - thegovernment allowed thousands of colour TV sets to be imported into the country tocoincide with the broadcast of Asian Games in New Delhi. 1985 saw the advent ofComputers and Telephone exchanges, which were succeeded by Digital Exchanges in1988. The period between 1984 and 1990 was the golden period for electronics duringwhich the industry witnessed continuous and rapid growth. From 1991 onwards, therewas first an economic crises triggered by the Gulf War which was followed by politicaland economic uncertainties within the country. Pressure on the electronics industry
remained though growth and developments have continued with digitalisation in allsectors, and more recently the trend towards convergence of technologies. After thesoftware boom in mid 1990s India's focus shifted to software. While the hardware sectorwas treated with indifference by successive governments. Moreover the steep fall incustom tariffs made the hardware sector suddenly vulnerable to internationalcompetition. In 1997 the ITA agreement was signed at the WTO where India committeditself to total elimination of all customs duties on IT hardware by 2005. In the subsequentyears, a number of companies turned sick and had to be closed down. At the same timecompanies like Moser Baer, Samtel Colour, Celetronix etc. have made a mark globally.

security system, etc. The Indian strategic electronic industry has been able to meet thebulk of the requirements of Indias defence and paramilitary forces. Indias defence,aerospace and nuclear sectors are poised for substantial growth on the back of economicgrowth and the need to maintain national and energy security. The role of IT in defence isexpanding with the new focus on cyber security. Driven by geo-political considerations,
India is expected to be one of the top-5 markets for defence equipment by 2015.Similarly, economic growth and a focus by commercial aircraft manufacturers on low-cost countries are expected to create growth in the aerospace market in emerging marketsin general and India in particular. The civilian nuclear agreement between the US andIndia will enable commerce and cooperation, in particular allowing India to collaboratewith global companies on nuclear projects. India has an opportunity to play an importantrole in this global phenomenon.
The Government feels that it is desirable to focus on production in the strategicelectronics sector to ensure acquisition of the state-of-the-art technology. The sector is
increasingly facing problems in attracting and retaining talent. There is also a trendtowards outsourcing/sub contracting and privatisation.

45000 or above) that has greater disposable income and propensity to spend. It has beenestimated by NCAER that this group will constitute over 80 per cent of the populationof India by 2009-10
Lifestyle changes such as greater exposure to global trends and increasing affinity for
convenience and lifestyle products
Increasing urbanisation, emergence of nuclear double income families Low penetration levels of most consumer durables. For example, in 2002, only 66 percent of middle-income households had a TV set, only 28 per cent of the urbanhouseholds possessed a refrigerator, while just a little over 15 per cent owned an aircooler. Despite a population of more than 1 billion people, only 16 million computerswere used in India in March 2005.
Increased government and private industry spending on sectors such as defence and
aerospace. The Indian aviation sector, for example, has placed orders for more than350 aircrafts with a list price of about US$ 26 billion.
In recognition of Indias domestic market potential, Samsung has selected India as oneof the top six strategic markets in the world along with the US, China, Russia, Germanyand Thailand.

INDUSTRY IN INDIA

65/79
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS:
1. Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas
2. Presence of well-known brands: A large no. of well known brands likeSamsung,LG,Sony,Hitachi,Videocon etc, are present in the Indian market. Thus makingthe market highly potential for customers.In recognition of Indias domestic market
potential, Samsung has selected India as one of the top six strategic markets in the worldalong with the US, China, Russia, Germany and Thailand.
3. In recent years, organized sector has increased its share in the market Vis a Vis
the unorganized sector.
4.Abundant Availability of Man Power: India produces over 500 PhDs, 200,000engineers, 300,000 non-engineering postgraduates and 2,100,000 other graduates eachyear.Indias capabilities in IT and engineering make it an attractive location for sourcingengineering services such as Research & Development (R&D) and design.
5.Competitive Labour Costs: Indias cost of skilled labour is among the lowest in theworld.For example, average labour rate per employee in the electronics sector is about$3,000 per year. Labour cost as a percentage of value added is only 21 per cent in Indiaas compared to 23 per cent in China and 30 per cent in Taiwan. Taking advantage of thismany MNCs have set up manufacturing bases in India for domestic consumption as wellas exports

WEAKNESSES
1.Demand is seasonal and is high during festive season
2. Low purchasing power of consumers
3. Lack of clear-cut government policy for the industry.
6. Very little expenditure in Research and Development area: The Indian companiesdo not spend more on the R&D area, thus making the market obsolete.
5. Heavy Taxation: Heavy taxation in the country is one of the hurdles for the players.
At its present structure the total tax incidence in India even now stands at around 25-30per cent, whereas the corresponding tariffs in other Asian countries are between 7 and 17
per cent.
6. Poor Infrastructure: Poor infrastructure is another reason that seems to have held
back the industry. Regular power supply is imperative for any consumer electronics
product. But that remains a major hiccup in India

OPPORTUNITIES
1. Penetration Level: In India, the penetration level of white goods is lower as compared
to other developing countries.For example, in 2002, only 66 percent of middle-incomehouseholds had a TV set, only 28 per cent of the urban households possessed arefrigerator, while just a little over 15 per cent owned an air cooler.
2. Rise in disposable income: The demand for consumer electronics has been rising withthe increase in disposable income coupled with more and more consumers falling underthe double income families. The growing Indian middle class is an attraction forcompanies who are out there to woo them.
3. Availability of newer variants of a product: Consumers are spoilt for choice when it
comes tochoosing products. Newer variants of a product will help a company in gettingthe attention ofconsumers who look for innovation in products.
4. Potential markets remaining yet untapped: A large segment of the domestic market,
mostly therural market is yet to be tapped. Tapping this yet untapped and unorganised
market is a majoropportunity for the Indian consumer durables sector.
5. Availability of financing schemes: Availability of credit and the structure of the loandetermine theaffordability of the product. Sale of a particular product is determined bythe cost of credit as muchas the flexibility of the scheme.
6. Rise in the share of organized retail: Rise in organized retail will set the growth paceof the Indianconsumer durables industry. According to a working paper released by theIndian Council form Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), organizedretail which constituted a mere four percent of the retail sector in FY07 is likely to growat 45-50% per annum and quadruple its share in the total retail pie 16% by 2011-2012.The share will grow with bigger players entering the market.
THREATS67

8/7/2019 Indian Electronic Industry2
68/79
1. Threat from new entrants, especially global companies: The domestic consumer
durables sectorfaces threat from newer companies, especially from global ones who have
technologically advancedproducts to offer.
2. Rivalry and competition: Presence of a large number of players in the domestic
consumer durablesindustry leads to competition and rivalry among companies. Threat
from rivalry and competitionposes a threat to domestic companies.
3. Threat from substitute products/services: The domestic consumer durables industry
is plagued bythreats from substitute products. Easy accessibility to theatres/multiplexes,
especially in urban areas has turned off the viewership from TV to a large extent. With
the advent of a horde of FM radio stations, radio sets have now substituted TVs. Cheap
imports from Singapore, China and other Asian countries
4. Customer power with respect to availability of choice: The availability of a wide
product line onaccount of most products being homogeneous, poses a threat for
companies operating in the consumer durables sector. Customers have the choice of both
domestically produced and imported goods, with similar features.
