India ESDM Conclave 2013 New Delhi 

13 June 2013,New Delhi: sagar media inc:India continues to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world and during the last decade It has proved to be its sunshine sector but will India emerge as new global hub for electronics industry viz Electronics System Design and Manufacturing,the ESDM. Nearly 2 trillion dollar industry of the world is expected to cross  US$ 2.5 trillion by 2020.

Consumer electronics has the largest shares of the market,followed by communication,broadcast equipments,industrial electronics,electronic components and computer hardwares. Government of India is making host of initiatives for transforming India with global hub for electronics manufacturing thus in turn provide wide spectrum of incentives and subsidies.

In this context India Chamber of Commerce with Department of technology organised “India ESDM Conclave” with state government nodal electronics department participants from various other states  and many MNC and corporate chiefs confabulated on various dimensions of electronic industry. Plenary session I ,was marked with various state government CEO,MD and principal secretary unveiled their plan to propel business men know about opportunities,stake in government scheme and incentives.

Indian electronics industry chiefly consistently in trading zone with little screw driver technology, remains at nascent stage in manufacturing aspects an industy  if to be converted to high value manufacturing hub, India needs to  learn the basic of the industry from its raw material aspects to high technology manufacturing process with research   and innovations happening from school and college levels.

Electronics is fourth generation industry  and the style and design of the products are fast changing,the skill training,technology injection and up-gradation will only happens when convergence at various levels are likely to happen in academic,industry,management,legal laws.

Processing of ores are key to this industry and Green technologies such as electric cars, wind energy, solar panels and fluorescent light bulbs rely on rare-earth metals. The military depends on rare earths for guided missile systems, satellites and unmanned drones. China controls 95 percent of the world’s rare-earth supply. The key to this monopoly isn’t an abundance of rare-earth deposits, but its expertise in processing ore into oxides and pure metal. The ore tends to carry uranium and thorium, the most radioactive element on the planet, and extracting the metal is typically a long, multistage process involving toxic chemicals.

Another ore  named Coltan is used primarily for the production of tantalum capacitors, used in many electronic devices. Industry sources mention coltan’s importance in the production of cell phones, simplifying  tantalum capacitors are used in almost every kind of electronic device. Coltan abbreviation  for columbite–tantalite and known industrially as tantalite is a dull black metallicore from which the elements niobium (formerly “columbium”) and tantalum are extracted. The niobium-dominant mineral in coltan is columbite, and the tantalum-dominant mineral is tantalite.
Tantalum minerals are mined in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Democratic Republic of Congo, China, Ethiopia, and Mozambique.Tantalum is also produced in Thailand and Malaysia as a by-product of tin mining and smelting..
