💥UPSC 2026, 2027 UAP Mentorship - June Batch Starts

Electronics is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and it is increasingly finding applications in all sectors. India has rightly accorded the high priority to electronic hardware manufacturing. In light of this, examine the measures and policies introduced by the government and issues with them. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • In the intro, mention the significance of the sector for the country.
  • In the body, mention the Phased Manufacturing Programme, Production Linked Incentive Scheme, National Electronics Policy etc. In the issues, start from the issues in mention lack of focus on R&D, issues in PLI Scheme like-manufacturers could still continue import and limit the operation of assembly and packaging in India, the grant amount issues etc.
  • Conclude by mentioning the need to do more on R&D and production of vital components in India.

      Hi Dakshina
      Good introduction.
      You can write some data like the Indian electronics sector is tremendously growing with the demand expected to cross USD 400 billion by 2023-24.
      First write the issues then write the measures,not vice-versa.
      Issues and challenges are well explained .
      Way forward is missing, you can write that she schemes to promote electronics manufacturing combined with the Prime Minister’s call for an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, have rejuvenated hopes of a rise of the indigenous electronics industry, allowing India to be truly self-sufficient. It is only through such actions, India can hope to realise the dream of being a truly indigenous electronic ecosystem encompassing all aspects of the electronics industry.

      Hi Deepika
      Good introduction but avoid using short forms.
      Measures taken by the government are well explained.
      Need to add more points in the issues, you can write
      -Limited indigenous capability in upstream industries
      -Absence of foundries (semiconductor fabrication plants where microchips are produced).
      In the way forward,along with other points stress on pushing Make in India program.
      Good conclusion.
      The content is good and well placed.
      Work on handwriting, avoid scribbling.
      Keep working hard !

      Hi Uttam
      Write the introduction in a small a paragraph, not in points.
      Update your content, in the government schemes, write-
      -Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme.
      -Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS).
      -Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) Scheme.
      Need to add more points in the issues, you can write

      Hi Sneha
      Good introduction but need to summarise it.
      Government measures are well explained but try to explain your each subheading in one or two lines.
      Issues and way forward are well written.
      Conclusion is missing, you can conclude that the schemes to promote electronics manufacturing combined with the Prime Minister’s call for an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, have rejuvenated hopes of a rise of the indigenous electronics industry, allowing India to be truly self-sufficient. It is only through such actions, India can hope to realise the dream of being a truly indigenous electronic ecosystem encompassing all aspects of the electronics industry.
      Structure of the answer is good.
      A decent attempt.
      Keep writing, you will succeed.

      Hi PS
      Good introduction.
      Significance of the sector is well explained.
      Issues and government measures are well written.
      In the suggestions, along with other points , also write that there is a need to promote semiconductor manufacturing alongside assembly units in India. This will induce greater local production of components and also fuel the growth of the industry as a whole, making Make in India successful.
      Good conclusion.
      The content is good and well placed.
