MeitY’s Consent Hold Causes Shortages in Electronics and IT Products

Current Scenario

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has reportedly been holding consent for electronic and IT product manufacturers. This decision has led to significant disruptions, including:

1. Shortages of Latest Gadgets in the Indian Market:

• Limited availability of the newest electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and other IT products.

2. Supply Chain Issues for Indian Manufacturers:

• Delays in approvals are hindering the timely production and distribution of essential components and finished goods.
• This has created bottlenecks in supply chains, affecting both domestic and export operations.

Impact on the Industry

Market Disruption: Consumers and retailers are facing limited availability of products.

Business Losses: Manufacturers and suppliers are incurring financial setbacks due to delays and inventory issues.

Innovation Delays: The inability to introduce the latest gadgets hampers technological progress and India’s global competitiveness in the electronics sector.

A Call for Proactive Measures

MeitY should adopt a proactive approach to address the concerns of Indian manufacturers, importers, and customers. While the ambition to make India self-reliant in electronics is commendable, it is important to acknowledge that building a robust domestic manufacturing ecosystem is a gradual process. Achieving complete self-sufficiency in a span of five years is challenging, but India is progressing on this path swiftly and boldly.

Streamlining the consent process and collaborating with industry stakeholders can:

Alleviate Shortages: Ensure timely availability of products.

Restore Supply Chains: Prevent bottlenecks and delays.

Foster Industry Confidence: Build trust among domestic and international players.
