Ashwini Vaishnaw, India’s Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Railways and I&B Broadcasting inaugurated VVDN Technologies’ largest Surface Mount Technology Line and Mechanical Innovation Park at their Global Innovation Park in Manesar Haryana to kick start India’s efforts of expanding global electronics value chains. This was an historic event which showcased India as an invaluable global partner.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, significant strides were achieved over the past decade and an Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme will soon be put into action. This initiative seeks to complete the ecosystem needed for electronic component production by covering passive components within electronics component manufacturing.
Vaishnaw underscored how dramatically Indian electronics sector had expanded since 2002. Production rose five-fold to Rs11 lakh crore while exports more than tripled, crossing Rs3.25 lakh crore for an incredible success story under Make in India initiative and now employing 25 lakh+ individuals with exponential growth projections for years ahead.

“India is no longer just a manufacturing hub; instead it has emerged as an innovative global leader in electronics design and innovation. India boasts not just assembly workers but also talent capable of designing complex AI-powered systems which give our talent pool an advantage globally.”
Vaishnaw met with over 5,000 engineers working at VVDN’s R&D facilities on cutting-edge technologies and visited its advanced labs, such as Server R&D Lab, 5G R&D Lab and Video Image Tuning Lab. Furthermore, the Minister remarked on India’s growing capabilities of developing design tools locally; an essential step toward attaining technological independence.
He applauded VVDN’s recent deployment of 6,000 AI servers as evidence of India’s emerging hardware capabilities, while stressing his government’s commitment to developing an electronic manufacturing base that safeguards intellectual property protection, fosters indigenous innovation and offers resilient rare-earth supply chains.
An inclusive three-tier skilling strategy was also presented, including basic training, on-site product-specific modules and industry-align university courses – especially important when dealing with capital intensive skills such as those found within electronics production.
VVDN recently unveiled its largest SMT Line ever, capable of handling PCB sizes up to 850mm x 560mm at 250,000 components per hour – perfect for mass producing AI servers, networking devices and motherboards.
Mechanical Innovation Park comprises 1.5 lakh sq.ft. of state-of-the-art facilities for tool making, CNC machining, EDM and injection moulding to offer a full design-to-manufacturing ecosystem. These facilities are projected to generate over 3,000 skilled jobs thereby furthering government employment and skilling visions.
