ESDM sector to get due place in draft IT Policy: MeitY

New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) was working on a new draft Information Technology policy with due focus on the ESDM (Electronic System Design & Manufacturing) sector, MeitY Joint Secretary Sanjay K Rakesh said.
Speaking at an event here on Wednesday, the MeitY official said that in last few years, there has been a sea change in government’ s policies, as far as the IT Sector is concerned and so in addition to IT & ITeS sector, the Ministry was also emphasising on indigenous manufacturing of ESDM products.
He said the government was now encouraging States to come up with more conducive industrial policies to attract private investment in the ESDM sector.
The two day event was organized by industry body Indian Chamber of Commerce in association with India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA).
Focussed on ESDM products manufacturing in India, the event saw participation of government officials from different states and other stake-holders in ESDM space.

Mr. Singh also mentioned about a few factors like State’s strategic location, connectivity through ‘industrial corridors’ and existence of a well-designed ‘GST Regime’, that could add great value to the profitability factor of any private investor in the ESDM sector.
In one of the session of the event, Vice President Marketing Strategy, Fintech at Government of Andhra Pradesh Richa Shrivastava gave a crisp presentation on “Transforming the future for Fintech: How to create a new value proposition for the State?”
