[產業觀察] India electronic policy

I saw a news recently that talk about the national policy on electronics 2012 of India. Kapil Sibal, the Minister for Communications and Information Technology says the government approve the policy and plan to invest 100 billion for electronics industry fostering before 2020. It's natural trend for India to extend from their famous software industrial to hardware.

Kapil visit Japan's recently and says it's very important to have strategy cooperation with Japan electronics company. The most important one is to build first semiconductor factory. The plan will kick-off before October 2013 and start to production around 2015~2016. Then based on the plenty of software engineer, Japan company can have much progress in India on embedded system.

According the news, I think India have the right strategy to do this. Japan's electronics industry gradually lose their competitive since years ago because their thinking do not keep up with the trend. India have a lots of advantages to help Japan's company reverse this situation including the software industry, low cost man power, big market...etc. Besides the economic view point, the political strategy in Asia, it is inevitable for Japan to keep more relations with China's neighbor union.

Let's keep observing how the things going.
