The future of India\u2019s electronics industry doesn\u2019t lie only in the manufacturing of products, it lies in the manufacturing of goods which will automate our factories, cities, and transportation networks. Industrial electronics must be brought to the heart of India\u2019s electronics growth strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman, ICEA,<\/strong>&nbsp;stated: \u201cThe industrial electronics segment must be recognized as a national strategic priority. It is the brain and nervous system of every advanced manufacturing setup. Without leadership in industrial automation, India cannot claim true manufacturing leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Mohindroo,<\/strong>&nbsp;further noted that industrial electronics has massive potential for high-skilled employment, particularly in areas such as embedded systems, automation software, robotics, and AI-integrated systems. And we must invest in talent pipelines, R&amp;D, and incentives to grow this sector. India should aim to become not just a user of industrial electronics, but a global design and manufacturing hub for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this Industrial growth,&nbsp;<strong>Mr. Manish Walia, VP, Delta Electronics said<\/strong>, \u201cThe industrial electronics forms the technological backbone of modern manufacturing infrastructure, powering smart factories, robotics, intelligent grids, automated systems, and future-ready transport and logistics networks. Industrial electronics is not a vertical in itself, rather it is a horizontal which drives all verticals\/sectors of manufacturing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICEA is currently leading efforts to craft a dedicated policy and strategic roadmap for industrial electronics through its Steering Committee on Industrial Electronics and Infrastructure, this is being done in close collaboration with the government and leading industry stakeholders. The steering committee has top leaders from&nbsp;<strong>Delta Electronics, Infineon Technologies, Festo, Fanuc, Rockwell Automation&nbsp;India&nbsp;Pvt. Ltd, Feedback Advisory and Federation for Economic Development (FED)<\/strong>, will come out in the form of a detailed market study highlighting the challenges related to technology access, regulatory frameworks, and ecosystem development to position India as a global force in industrial electronics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a major boost to India\u2019s capabilities in this sector,&nbsp;<strong>Amber Enterprises India Ltd.<\/strong>&nbsp;has recently acquired a controlling stake in Israel-based Unitronics (1989) (R\u201dG) Ltd, a global leader in industrial automation, through its subsidiary ILJIN Electronics India Pvt Ltd. This strategic&nbsp;\u20b9404 crore acquisition enhances India\u2019s access to world-class industrial automation technologies and aligns with national priorities on self-reliance, export competitiveness, and high-value job creation. Unitronics brings with it cutting-edge capabilities in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), and Industrial IoT, all of which are key enablers of Industry 4.0.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Jasbir Singh, Executive Chairman and CEO of Amber Group<\/strong>, said: \u201cThis transaction will significantly strengthen India\u2019s Industrial automation by providing a strong foothold in the rapidly growing sector of Industry 4.0 solutions and real-time data-driven technologies. \u201cThis will accelerate our nation&#8217;s transition towards smart factories and digitally-driven production systems, ultimately supporting the goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat in high-tech manufacturing,\u201d Mr. Singh added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Industrial automation technologies enhance productivity, improve quality, enable real-time control, and ensure sustainability thus making them essential to globally competitive production systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICEA remains committed to facilitating high-impact, industry-led initiatives that drive technological advancement, innovation, and global competitiveness, and will continue supporting collaborations that strengthen India\u2019s position in the global electronics value chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi,&nbsp;4th August, 2025:&nbsp;\u2013 India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) called for the urgent need to prioritize industrial and infrastructure electronics as a central pillar of India\u2019s $500 billion electronics manufacturing target by 2030-31.
