From Chief Editor’s Desk
Dear Readers, The Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) has been made into full-fledged Ministry and renamed as the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in July 2016. This provides a separate identity to Electronics sector. The Government has taken various initiatives to attract more investment in the electronic sector in India and is looking at Healthcare sector with growth prospects in medical electronics. India’s medical electronics market is expected to grow to USD ~6.5 billion by the year 2020. Medical devices are increasingly relying on use of medical electronics. To understand the crucial role of Electronics in Medical application, Medical Electronics Innovation Summit (MEIS 2016) held on 22-23 September, 2016 in IIT Bombay at Mumbai has one of the initiatives in the series of proactive measures taken by MeitY.

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

Innovation Programme
MeitY-BIRAC Industry Innovation Programme on Medical Electronics (IIPME):
Industry Innovation Programme on Medical Electronics (IIPME) is a collaborative project between the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.
The project goal is to fund a portfolio of Indian led pilot projects targeting innovations in multi-
disciplinary areas comprising of electronics, engineering, medical devices, healthcare, software,
algorithms & information technology, to help medical electronics fraternity and to bring in fast pace
research and development in this area. The idea is to provide funding support to applicants for testing
their bold ideas, mentorship from various subject matter experts, networking platforms and an
opportunity to scale up their technology. Under this project support will be provided at Seed, Early
transition and transitions to scale stages.
Seed Grants- This is for funding the projects, which are at initial stages of product development cycle.
These awards do not require preliminary data and are meant to provide an opportunity to test
particularly bold ideas. A grant upto Rs. 50 lakhs for a period of 18 months can be provided in this
category.
Early Transition- This category is for projects which have established the proof of concept and require
incremental prototype innovations and validation. These awards are for small risk projects which are
at the early stages of translational research. A mix of grant & loan not exceeding INR 100 lakhs over
the period of 24 can be provided in this category.
Transition to Scale- The stage is for the projects which have already shown promising data on
establishing the Proof of Concept and has generated enough validation data, these awards require
demonstration of detailed preliminary data and are meant to provide an opportunity to develop,
refine, and rigorously test approaches that have previously shown promise in controlled or limited
settings. A mix of grant & loans for a period of 24 - 36 months is proposed. The project cost would be
matched equally by Government Funds and the industry.
The first call for proposals was announced in the month of June 2015 and fourteen projects have been
selected for funding. The programme has again invited proposals from 10.06.2016 and will be open for
acceptance till midnight of 10.03.2017. The focus areas of the programme are Imaging & navigation,

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.
