India Must Prioritise Industrial Electronics, Says ICEA

As India advances toward its ambitious $500 billion electronics manufacturing target by FY31, the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) has emphasised a pivotal, yet under-recognised segment industrial and infrastructure electronics.

Pushing for Strategic Prioritisation

In a statement released on Monday, ICEA urged policymakers to put industrial electronics at the forefront of India’s electronics growth roadmap. The sector, which powers automation in factories, smart cities, and transportation systems, is seen as essential to India’s industrial transformation.

According to ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo, the country’s future in electronics hinges not only on consumer devices like smartphones and laptops, but equally on the electronics that drive automation and intelligent infrastructure.

High-Skilled Jobs, Global Opportunities

Highlighting the sector’s strategic significance, Mohindroo noted that industrial electronics holds enormous potential for high value employment especially in areas like embedded systems, automation software, robotics, and AI-integrated platforms.

ICEA also stressed the need for India to build strong talent pipelines, invest in R&D, and offer targeted incentives to enable growth in this segment. The goal: to position India not just as a user, but as a global design and manufacturing hub for industrial electronics.
