Electronics City Industries Association (ELCIA) and India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) that aims to foster India’s ambition to become a global leader in electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM).
India’s sensor module market is expected to grow from Rs 200 billion presently to Rs 310 billion by 2027, driven by a growing demand for sensor modules. The partnership aims to position India as a global leader in sensor manufacturing, utilising advanced technologies such as analog and digital sensors using semiconductors, micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS), nano-electromechanical Systems (NEMS), infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), laser, and more.
The immediate focus for ECoE-Sensors will be on industrial sensors, with plans to eventually expand into other verticals.
