Recently, the Government of India has formulated first draft of “Medical Device Rules 2016” of Drugs and Cosmetics Act for issues relating to matters concerning medical devices. These Rules will provide for certification of medical devices thereby providing a big boost to domestically manufactured medical devices in the country. Presently, the penetration of medical devices in India is very low. We need medical electronics devices which are customized for Indian health conditions and are affordable for the common man. A major step taken by the Government was to allow 100%

FDI through automatic route for manufacture of medical devices as early as January 2015.

As a result of the incentives being offered by Government, several domestic and multinational companies have started manufacturing activities in the country. The mood is positive and there is optimism in the air. Potential investors are encouraged to make their move now. This is a golden opportunity for the global industry to join the ‘Make In India’ campaign launched by Hon’ble Prime Minster of India, Shri Narendra Modi.

Make in India promotes not only manufacturing for domestic needs but also for global demand. We encourage companies to take advantage of the incentives offered by this Ministry and also export medical devices manufactured from India.

I hope the newsletter will be helpful to track the latest developments on Electronics India. The success of the Newsletter depends on your comments, contributions and ideas. We welcome thoughts and feedback of readers with regard to additional items which can be included.

Best wishes

Promotion of indigenous manufacturing of Set Top Boxes (STBs):

Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has taken several steps to promote

indigenous manufacturing of STBs for Cable/ DTH TV, keeping in view the huge indigenous

requirement on account of roadmap for digitalization of the broadcast sector.

M/s. ByDesign India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore has successfully developed a Conditional Access System (CAS)

for Set Top Boxes (STBs) under a project funded by MeitY in November, 2015. The iCAS is available at a

price of USD 0.5 per license for all Operators and Set Top Box manufacturers in India for a period of

three years with free upgrades and feature enhancement, against market price of USD 4-5 per license

for other competing products. The number of iCAS embedded STBs have potential to grow fast and

provide a gainful opportunity for domestic STB manufacturers. More than 50,000 STBs with iCAS

licenses have already been deployed across the country.

To further facilitate the production of STBs

in the country, a review meeting was held

under the Chairmanship of Shri Rajiv Bansal,

Joint Secretary, MeitY on 24.06.2016. The

meeting was attended by the officials from

LED manufacturing sector on a growth trajectory:

LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes, are a form of solid-state lighting which is extremely efficient and long-

lasting. LED lighting technology has improved dramatically over the past 10 years. The life of a high-

power white LED is projected to be from 35,000 to 50,000 hours, compared to 750 to 2,000 hours for

an incandescent bulb, 8,000 to 10,000 hours for a compact fluorescent light (CFL). LED is the choice for

next generation energy efficient lighting for its technical and economic virtues. Many countries have

set LED as the national strategic industry. It is foreseen that LED will penetrate 75% by 2020. LED saves

70% and 50% energy comparing use of Incandescent Lamps (IL) and Fluorescent Lamp (FL).

The country’s LED lighting market in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 32% by 2020.

Presently, the outdoor LED lighting segment is the largest revenue generator on account of growing

demand for LED installations in parks, streets, automotive, communications, signage, signalling,

architecture and entertainment sectors, railways, metro stations, parking lots and other public places.

However, the indoor segment is anticipated to witness strong growth in future owing to rising

awareness about LED technology and various government initiatives to subsidize cost of LEDs.

With relatively low LED light penetration and huge untapped opportunity, India has become an

attractive market for both domestic as well as international LED players. The market has witnessed a

phenomenal growth over the past five years and the trend is expected to continue over the next five

years.

LED manufacturing in India is moving into a market which is primarily technology integration. With the

support from Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, which has started providing

guidelines for all class of manufactures and currently over 200 manufactures of various sizes are

providing support to this market in India. Manufacturing of typical LED bulb lighting essentially consists

of assembly of various sub-assemblies, primarily, (i) PC cover; (ii) Aluminum PCB and led; (III) Heat sink;

(iv) LED driver and (v) Lamp holder. Earlier, Special Additional Duty (SAD) on inputs for use in the

manufacture of LED drivers and MCPCB (Metal Clad Printed Circuit Board) for LED lights, fixtures and

LED lamps has been reduced from 4% to Nil. Excise duty on inputs for use in the manufacture of LED

drivers and MCPCB for LED lights, fixtures and LED lamps has been reduced from 12% to 6%.

Government has also issued LED Product Notification on 22.05.2014 for providing preference to

domestically manufactured LED products in Government procurement which provide 50% of

procurement (in value term) with 60 % of Domestic Value Addition (for current FY 2016-17) in LED

products by Ministries/ Departments and their agencies. Till date, Rs. 1,57,75,269 worth of

domestically manufactured LED products have been procured by the Ministries/ Departments.

India is witnessing a disruptive shift and this has resulted in dramatic increase in volume and reduction

in prices. The current market conditions have created a strong competitive environment among

manufacturers. Government has also notified compliance of safety standards for Self ballasted LED

Lamps, Fixed General Purpose LED luminaries to curb import of substandard and unsafe LED products.

LED technology is still emerging and there is significant potential for growth in the efficacy, cost

effectiveness and useful life of the LED lighting fixtures.
