Electronics Sector Ko Double Jhatka!
China ke rare earth magnet exports par lagi rok ke baad, India ka electronics manufacturing sector ek aur mushkil mein phas gaya hai. Gold compound ke import par bhi restrictions lag gaye hain, jo ek important raw material hai. Isse electronic items banane wali companies ki tension badh gayi hai.
Kya Hai Rare Earth Magnets?
Rare earth magnets computer chips, electronic components, electric vehicles aur medical equipment mein use hote hain. China ne inke exports par restrictions laga di hain, jisse India mein inki supply kam ho gayi hai.
Gold Compounds Ka Kya Role Hai?
Gold compounds electronic components mein current flow ko improve karte hain. Ye motherboards aur semiconductors mein bahut important hote hain. Lekin ab inke import par bhi rok lagne se problem ho gayi hai.
DGFT Ka Naya Order
Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) ne 17 June ko ek order pass kiya hai, jismein colloidal precious metals aur compounds ke imports ko ‘free’ se ‘restricted’ category mein daal diya hai. Iska matlab hai ki ab inko import karne mein dikkat hogi.
Industry Ki Pareshani
India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) ne Ministry of Electronics and IT ko ek letter likha hai. Unhone kaha hai ki import restrictions se electronics manufacturing badhane ki koshishon mein uncertainty aa gayi hai. ICEA ke Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo ne kaha ki policy ki wajah se investment par bhi asar pad sakta hai.
ECMS Scheme Par Asar
Mohindroo ne gold compounds ke import ko solve karne ke liye kaha hai. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) ka aim hai ki printed circuit boards, camera modules aur connectors jaise key components ko India mein hi banaya jaye. In sabko banane mein gold based plating materials ki zaroorat hoti hai.
Production Lines Mein Rukawat
Electronic component banane wali body Elcina ne bhi Ministry of Electronics and IT ko letter likha hai. Unhone kaha hai ki customs authorities ne Potassium Gold Cyanide aur similar materials ke consignments rok diye hain, jisse production lines mein delays ho rahe hain aur supply chains disrupt ho rahe hain.
Jobs Par Khatra
Elcina ka kehna hai ki China ke rare earth metals par restrictions lagane se Noida aur South India mein audio electronics segment mein 21,000 se zyada jobs khatre mein hain. Electronics manufacturing services companies ko bhi China se capital goods import karne mein problems aa rahi hain, jisse production delay ho raha hai.
Foxconn Ka Example
Recently, iPhone banane wali company Foxconn ko apne hundreds Chinese technology professionals ko वापस bhejna pada, jo India unit ki manufacturing capacity badhane aur professionals ko train karne mein help kar rahe the. Isse pata chalta hai ki situation kitni serious hai.
