Mobile manufacturing and exports have achieved massive growth.

The Prime Minister said that the production of mobile phones in India has grown almost 28 different times, whereas the exports have gone up by 127 times in the last ten years. This enormous change has been attributed to creating millions of immediate working positions within the manufacturing industry of the country.

They added that the ecosystem of the global technology giant has reached out to 45 local partners, a collective of whom has provided more than 3.5 lakh jobs.

These arrangements with the Indian companies like Dixon, Amber, HCL Tech, Wipro, and Motherson Group were characterized as playing an important role in enhancing the country strength of being an electronic production hub of the world. The Prime Minister indicated that include an indirect employment associated with such partnerships, there are many more opportunities in all.

India 6G Vision and Semiconductor Push by 2030.

At the event, PM Modi announced that India is, in turn, working on creating 10 semiconductor production facilities, which addresses the desire of the country not to depend on the entire world but to take up new opportunities in making chips. According to him, disruptions in supply chains observed in most parts of the world have offered India with an exclusive opportunity to ramp up domestic production in chipsets and cellular parts.

The Prime Minister encouraged companies in the rest of the world and India to invest, innovate and produce in India indicating that the domestic 4G stack in India is already ready to export. He went further to point out that such technology is only available in five countries across the world.
