The policy will help in making the industry more competitive, attract new investments, generate employment, create additional revenues and lead to lesser dependence on Imports.
ASSOCHAM has further been campaigning to support Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs) thereby making ICTE manufacturing more competitive. The cluster concept imparts certain inherent natural manufacturing advantages of agglomeration and scale, bringing together required infrastructure, skills, and supporting institutions. The EMCs have potential advantages like increased productivity of the companies in the cluster, driving innovation, cutting down unproductive costs and reduction of costs through shared resources.
