THE INDIAN ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY
India is the firth largest economy in the world and has the second largest GDP. Among emerging economies. Owing to its large population, the potential consumer demand is almost unlimited and consequently under appropriate conditions, strong growth performance can be expected.

In fact, the liberalization of the economy in 1991 has led to rapid growth. The electronics industry, in particular is emerging as one of the most important industry in the Indian market.

The electronics industry in India dates back to the early 1960s. Electronics was initially restricted to the development and maintenance of fundamental communication systems including radio-broadcasting, telephonic and telegraphic communication, and augmentation of defense capabilities. Until 1984, the electronics sector was primarily government owned. The late 1980s witnessed a rapid growth of the electronics industry due to sweeping economic changes, resulting in the liberalization and globalization of the economy. The economic transformation was motivated by two compelling factors–the determination to boost economic growth, and to accelerate the development of export-oriented industries, like the electronics industry.

The electronics industry has recorded very high growth in subsequent years. By 1991, private investments both foreign and domestic were encouraged. The easing of foreign investment norms, allowance of 100 perce1t foreign equity, reduction in custom tariffs, and delicensing of several consumer electronic products attracted remarkable amount of foreign collaboration and investment. The domestic industry also responded favourably to the politic policies of the government. The opening of the electronics field to private sector enabled entrepreneurs to establish industries hitherto suppressed demand.

Improvements in the electronics industry have not been limited to a particular segment, but encompass all its sectors. Strides have been made in the areas of commercial electronics, software, telecommunications, instrumentation, positioning and networking systems, and defense. The result has been a significant trade growth that began in the late 1990s.

The Indian Electronics Industry is a text for investors who are considering India as a potential investment opportunity.

Various segment of India’s electronics industry, which include telecommunications, consumer electronics, computer hardware and software, and medical electronic systems.

Brief History of the Television industry:
Television technology was actually first developed in the 19th century, before commercial radio was conceived of, when, in 1897, Ferdinant Braun invented the cathode ray tube. The first time the cathode ray tube was used to produce images was in 1907.

The tube was an essential step in the invention of television, followed by Philo Farnsworth and Vladimir Zworykin’s independent developments of the image dissector and iconoscope. By the end of the 1920s, the United States had a total of fifteen experimental stations for mechanical television. In 1929, Herbert Hoover, at the time Secretary of commerce, made an appearance on the rnechanca1 television. In 1929, Herbert Hoovert, at the time the Secretary of Commerce, made an appearance on the mechanical television of AT&T. RC, the pioneer in broadcast development, did broadcasting experiments in the early 1930s.

World War II delayed the commercial development of the television, although research and development targeted for the war effort resulted in the possibility of better products for consumers. At the close of World War II, there was less than 7,000 working television sets, and only nine stations on the air, in the entire country. The United States was the leader in television technology, primarily because advances were made directly before, during and after WWII, when America’s major competitors in television development, Germany and England, halted their research programs.

The earliest television networks in the United States (NBC, CBS, ABC and DuMont) were actually part of the larger radio network systems, and many of the early television shows were simulcasts of popular radio shows. In 1951, ABC merged with United Paramount Theaters, gaining sizable financial resources with which to compete in a fierce television market. During the first five years of the 1950s ownership of televisions skyrocketed, affecting other forms of entertainment available to the public.
