Let us focus on what we are Good at !
Some 30 years back ( ? ) , GOI invested Rs 100 Crores in
setting up a factory / company ( Called Semi-Conductors India Ltd ? ) to
produce wafer fabrication / chips for computers. It took 3 years to start
production - of chips used in wrist watches ! - available by Kilo-weights on
footpaths of Taiwan !
By that time , chip manufacture / design had undergone 3
life cycles !
To save GOI embarrassment
, a fire burnt down that factory ! - never to come up again !
If we want to increase local " Value Addition " in
" India Made " electronics products , we must ensure that ,
> there is nil / very small import duty on raw
materials / components
> a little more
duty on Sub-Assemblies / Assemblies
> a high duty on finished products
That will encourage more local Value Addition
Stopping / discouraging imports is not the right way to
balance our Trade Deficit
That should be done by exporting things / services where we
are globally competitive
Let us not get fixated on making things locally - even at a
high cost as compared to importing
Let us not turn ours into a " High Cost Economy "
