Abstract

India has become a global power house in software and software services sector. However, it lags behind in electronics systems design and manufacturing (ESDM) capabilities. However, it is important for India to develop this sector both because of the tremendous economic opportunities it offers as well as its huge strategic relevance from security perspective. Government of India envisions making India a leading destination for ESDM sector in the world. This paper discusses some of the policy initiatives which can help India achieve this vision.
