From Chief Editor’s Desk
Dear Readers,
A very happy Deepawali for all our readers! Wish all a happy and prosperous year ahead.
The month of October saw two major steps being taken by the Government in its push to promote the Electronics
System Design and Manufacturing. The Department of Electronics and IT (DeitY) issued in-principle approval to the two
semiconductor wafer fab projects. Moreover, it also floated an Expression of Interest for any other company which may be
interested in setting up of a similar fab with a similar package of incentives. This is indeed great as it provides an opportunity
for any other company or consortia to also seek benefit as announced by the Government.
The DeitY also approved a Rs 113.7 Crore scheme for skill development in the area of electronics. The scheme aims
to provide assistance to 90,000 students and youth in six states and works through training partners. The scheme
symbolizes the need for greater role for the Sector Skills Councils, both Telecom and Electronics, in training people in skills
needed by the industry. It also encourages private training institutions to come forward in close cooperation with the Sector
Skills Councils and National Institute of Electronics and IT (NIELIT) to provide training. Our human resource is our greatest
USP in developing this sector and the approval of the scheme is a step in that direction.
Another new initiative taken up by DeitY has been the decision to create an online platform on its website where companies
which are interested in offering technology can post their details. Similarly, companies looking for joint ventures etc can also be
posted on this platform. We expect to evolve the platform based on the user feedback and requirements as we go along.
Six Electronic Manufacturing Clusters have been given in-principle approval. The promoters need to come back with
their DPRs at the earliest so that the final approvals can be issued and the process of setting up these new centres of
electronic manufacturing takes shape. It is also essential that the State Governments take ownership of these EMCs in a big
way. A big contribution of the State Government could be providing clearances like electricity, water, building permission,
sewerage through a single point of contact for all units within the EMCs. This single decision could make a big difference in
getting investments into the State.
There seems to be slowdown in the MSIPS applications. We look forward to greater interest in the coming weeks and
months.

through the Mega Project and on products to be specially designed for the markets in India and the region.
iv. Contribute towards development of an eco-system supportive of high-end manufacturing on a sustainable basis,
including the development of back-end supply chain and skill base for the ESDM sector.
The following additional incentives are proposed for eligible Mega Projects:
i. Applying PMA across a portfolio of products: In respect of domestic manufacturers, who establish a Mega Project,
producing multiple (more than one) products in India, the value addition will be calculated and applied across the
entire portfolio of products produced in India. The following conditions apply:
a. Only the products that have contributed at least 15 of the total sales across the ESDM portfolio (in India) during
the previous financial year would be eligible to be considered for applicability of liberalized value addition norms
under this provision.
b. The value addition norm may be calculated for the entire portfolio of products produced in India, with weightages for
each product in proportion to the production achieved for each product during the previous FY, in value terms.
ii. Deemed Domestic Manufacture (DDM): In respect of domestic manufacturers, who establish a Mega Project one or
more of their products shall be deemed to have been manufactured domestically, even when produced abroad. The
following conditions apply:
a. The domestic manufacturer, establishing a Mega Project, shall be given a credit of DDM, computed as a
percentage of the value of products manufactured in India, that satisfy the prescribed value addition norms.

IECEE discusses Compulsory Registration Scheme with DeitY
Sh. Sachdeva, Sr. Director, Deity with Mr. Ruvo, ES & COO, IECEE and other participants at the discussion
Mr Ron Collis, Chairman of IECEE (IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment
and Components) and Mr Pierre de Ruvo, Executive Secretary & COO of IECEE visited DeitY on Oct 18, 2013 under resolution
of Certification Management Committee of the IECEE (CMC) from its meeting held in Vancouver this year. The CMC had
resolved to empower Executive Secretary and Chairman of the IECEE to take due action and negotiate with Indian Authorities
to resolve the risk of non-acceptance of Test / Certification data issued under IECEE. From DeitY side, the discussion was led by
Shri Arun Sachdeva, Sr. Director & OSD to Secretary. The meeting was also attended by Sh. A K Chawla and Smt. Asha Nangia,
both Directors in DeitY, Sh G C Saxena, Director, STQC and Sh A K Sharma, Director, BIS.
The situation arising out of Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) Order issued by DeitY mandating Indian Safety
Standards for 15 categories of electronics goods was discussed. The IECEE team impressed upon the fact that the CB Scheme
was widely accepted and India was an important member of the scheme. IECEE team also expressed that CB Labs were very
experienced and could as such contribute to the motive of providing safe goods to Indian Consumers while facilitating
manufacturers with convenient method to comply with the regulation. CB Scheme is multilateral agreement to allow
international certification of electrical and electronic products so that a single certification allows worldwide market access.
From Indian side it was explained that the Consumer awareness levels in India were low, increasing import of
electronics goods and associated increase in substandard import was threatening the safety of consumers. It was also explained
that unlike the option available under the licensing regime under which ISI Mark could be invoked, India has gone ahead with a
liberal mechanism of conformity assessment based on self-declaration approach. The due stakeholder consultation process that
was used for bringing out the CRS Order was informed and it was explained that whereas India would be willing to review the
process with time, under current situation it was only best feasible to go in the present form of the regulation. Bringing out
clearly that while CB Scheme was a multilateral arrangement between various NCBs and regulators in different countries even
when members of the CB Scheme have already adopted different approaches, India had no reservations if various NCBs in India
intended to use CB Scheme as a basis for their respective voluntary certifications. It was further made out that however for the
regulated goods mechanism of Compulsory Registration Process could only be followed. Mr. Sachdeva also explained that no
differential treatment was being meted out to the test labs being enabled for the purpose and even Indian CB Labs had to go
through the BIS Recognition Process. In-fact besides other issues, Indian environment being different on account of
environmental, transportation, power supply conditions, etc., it was just essential to follow the laid down process.
Mr. Collis expressed that it was important for India to be part of the process of the IECEE-CB to remain on table to
negotiate their point of view. Mr. Ruvo indicated that it was also equally important for the IECEE Scheme to have an important
member like India on board. Mr. Ruvo further stated that certain procedures covering Manufacturer facility based........

……. testing to which India had also raised formal reservations, were set to be taken up in future meetings of the IECEE.
Indian Side explained that India was appreciative of the efforts being made under the IECEE. It was indicated that India had
already been accepting IECEE-CB Test Report for granting temporary registration and interim extensions to applicants under CRS. It
was only a considered view from Indian perspective that CB Certified Safety Critical Components for the notified goods were being
accepted for the purpose of Compulsory Registration even setting aside the requirements to have ISI Mark under licensing Scheme
of the Bureau of Indian Standards and even when Indian Standards were still at variance with the IEC ones.
While agreeing to that there was no infringement of the IECEE Rules and procedures by India, the visiting IECEE team
stated that the inputs gathered during the meeting would help them dispel the false notions that were growing in the International
Community with respect to India’s stand on this Order. The meeting concluded to work further to see that India’s participation in
