Electronics & Consumer Electronics
India's electronics manufacturing has tripled in output since 2016 driven by mobile phone PLI, but the bill of materials remains 70-85% imported. PCBs, displays, memory, passives and connectors form the deep dependency layer; the next decade of value capture hinges on substrate-level localisation.
