1.
All tables and all figures are displayed in a separate 'Appendix' given
below
2.
All the values are expressed in Crores (1 Crore = 10000000) of Rupees
(Indian National Rupee - INR) in Table - 1 and Table -2
3.
Data on Exports of Electronics and IT (Information Technology) sectors
are given in Table - 1 (with related visualizations in Figure -
1, Figure - 2, Figure - 3) and Table - 4 (with related visualization
in Figure - 7, Figure - 8)
a. Export in IT sector
is expressed as 'Computer Software' under 'IT & Computer Software'
(please refer to Table - 1)
b. Exports in
Electronics sector has been divided into following five sub-sectors (please
refer to Table - 1)
i.
Consumer Electronics
ii.
Industrial Electronics
iii.
Computer Hardware
iv.
Communication & Broadcast Equipment
v.
Electronic Components
c. In general,
Electronics and IT exports have consistently grown in the period from 2007-08
to 2012-13 (Illustrated in Figure - 1 and Figure - 2)
d. In terms of values of
trade, exports in IT is quite higher in comparison to exports in
Electronics (Illustrated in Figure - 3)
e. It is observed that
only in the year 2009-10, that total exports in Electronics sector was less
than that of previous year (please refer to Table - 1)
f. Export of sub-sector
'Consumer Electronics' shows increase in exported value from 2007-08 to 2009-10
but decrease in exported value from 2009-10 to 2012-13 (Illustrated in
Figure - 2)
4.
Above mentioned observations can be summed up as follows:-
a. Consistent decrease in Consumer Electronics Exports
during 2007-08 and 2009-10 and
b.
A dip in total Electronics export in 2009-10
5.
Let us look into production in Electronics & IT sectors during the
same period
a. Data related to
Production in Electronics and IT sectors are given in Table - 2 (with corresponding
visualizations in Figure - 4, Figure - 5 and Figure - 6) and Table -
5 (with corresponding visualizations in Figure - 9, Figure - 10 and Figure
- 11)
b. Production in IT are
given as 'IT Software'; 'IT Software' is expressed in terms of two parameters
'Software for Exports' and 'Domestic Software' (please refer
to Table - 2)
c. Production in
Electronics sector has been divided into following six sub-sectors (please
refer to Table - 2)
i.
Consumer Electronics
ii.
Industrial Electronics
iii.
Computer Hardware
iv.
Communication & Broadcast Equipment
v.
Strategic Electronics
vi.
Electronic Components
d. It may be noted that
available data suggests that India produces products under 'Strategic
Electronics' sub-sector, however exports data does not indicate any exports
taking place under this sub-sector
e. Table - 2 and Table -
5 suggest that even though there has been a decrease in exports of 'Consumer
Electronics' sub-sector in last couple of years (as mentioned in point 4
above), production of 'Consumer Electronics' has consistently increased
all along 2007-08 through 2012-13
f. Similarly, even
though there has been a dip in total exports in Electronics sector in 2009-10
(refer point 4 above), total produce under Electronics sector in India has
consistently increased all along 2007-08 through 2012-13
6. Thus, comparative data available for production and for export in
Electronics Sector appears to be supporting the view that the reason for
observed reduction in exports in Electronics sector (as given in point 4(a) and 4(b)) could be due to increased
local consumption of Electronic Products (this could be attributed to increase
in local demand of electronic products)
7. Table - 5 suggests that in the IT sector, there is an increase in
production of 'Software for Exports' as well as production of 'Domestic
Software'
8.
Table -3 suggests that production of 'Software for
Exports' has been around 80% of Total Software Produce throughout the
period 2007-08 to 2012-13
