•Pls consider electronics manufacturing by
Bharath Electronics Limited to enable better public sector participation in
this movement of real make in India of electronics.
•The list of electronics items can be
listed based on top electronics items which are imported cheaply from China or
those items which are brought from outside India in split up parts through
different means and assembled in Indian factory and sold at high prices to make
steep profits leading to fiscal constraints in the country as the exports of
our country has not improved but middle class consumption of electronics has
more than increased 100 times than 5 years ago.
•So Govt must get list of top sold
electronics items from bazaars, online shopping portals to make manufacturing
in India. Bharat Electronics limited cannot limit itself to just making
electronic voting machines alone when they have capability and govt spending
money to setup more centres across India by BEL will create competitive
environment to make in India for electronics and later private sector will also
join. But spending crores to boost electronics manufacturing by BEL in small
components initially and slowly moving upwards will boost production in next 4
years
•My list to consider for making in India
are simple but if made in India will boost significantly. mobile and laptop
accessories, USB cable, USB
chargers,
mobile casing, mobile screen scratch guard, laptop cables, laptop cooling pad,
laptop USB light,
memory card, pen drive, selfie stick, telephones, modem, router, mouse,
keyboard, plug point, sensors, landline with encryption feature, headset,
headphones, headset with mic, dth box, radio, fm,
earphone, speaker as accessory for mobile and laptop, CD, DVD, Bluetooth
device, dongle, TV board designing for CRT, LED, LCD, mobile circuit designing
entirely new
•The next list of major needs of corporate
offices and govt offices which are currently being imported heavily from abroad
for electronics or communication need to be overcome. Modems, Routers, Servers,
TV with led and lcd
panels, DVD player, blu ray
player, DTH boxes, LED touch screen, printer, Laptops, PC, special landline
phones
•Above all these one items everyone is
importing from abroad are toys which are very very high and plastic products for home
usage. All our steel containers are being replaced at homes with plastic
products which cause cancer at the same time are very cheap when imported and
leading to fall of steel manufacturers here as plastic products look very
exciting with designs but people forgot that metal containers don’t cause any
harm to body. People even carry their food in plastic containers which are not
good.
•You may think above list is very simple
but these are things we import heavily which is very close to our oil import.
•BEL separate team other than DRDO can
work on making India own mobile and laptop os using Linux and also build
laptops which can work with current available OS also to reduce dependency on
importing laptops. In future these laptops, tablets and mobiles will enable
easier distribution to school students and replace them without depending on
other vendors which charge high charges since they own OS which if we develop
will bring down costs and if we do fabrication and circuit designing without
violating any patents if any patent if we need can request concerned agency to
help us to buy it and in turn saving on cost of purchase of laptop from
outside. Our skillsets and R&D will also improve in long run and more
better institutionalised setup can be arrived and BEL can become advisor to
govt on new policies.
•BEL must also work on making own laptops
and mobiles by developing fabrication skills, chip level development, embedded
system research and growth. If at all the project is started govt should not
let anyone know that Govt or BEL is going to work on this project it should be
kept secret on the laptop, tablet and mobile part. Whenever it is completed
probably 4 years may be to do but full freedom to develop needs to be given to
enable real invention in these regions. Add Electric Car to secret project list.
•BEL must setup up these plants other than
Bangalore to enable all over India growth by inviting states which can
immediately allot land for this project. At least 3 new centres needed as there
is immense scope for manufacturing. One of the sites must be Bihar or
Jharkhand, North East for cool climate for electronics manufacturing and one
more site may be at TN or Madhya Pradesh or UP. I know Gujarat and Bangalore
can immediately allot lands but growth in non electronics region will only lead
to new youth coming up with new projects and ideas to prevent importing.
•Once one by one product is ready Govt can
ask a private agency to do marketing and enable sales across all channels of
online and retail. The cost of the products must be such a way that they are
half of current market price after import and last long and at the same time.
The feedback received must be used to improve the same. If BEL wants it can
create subsidiary for sale of products under different name if it is not ok.
But selling under BEL will make a huge difference and the revenue receipts will
be huge from this. BEL revenue in long run in doing above will boost the
economy and will help avoid Govt to ask sick public sector entities to give
dividends to compensate expenditures. Finance Ministry and other ministries
must find new ways to create new public sector entities in new areas from which
Govt can earn revenue with ease in future.
