As India seeks to move beyond electronics assembly towards product design, intellectual property and component manufacturing, Software Technology Parks of India (#STPI) is expanding its Electropreneur Park programme to support a larger number of hardware and electronics startups. Speaking at the STPI Electropreneur Summit 2026 at IIIT-Delhi on Monday, STPI Director General Arvind Kumar said the country’s technology sector was entering a phase in which its established software capabilities would increasingly have to be matched by growth in electronics design and manufacturing. "Historically, our talent shifted primarily toward software services, building a $200B-plus export industry while electronics manufacturing lagged. But the landscape has fundamentally changed,” Kumar said. He pointed to the rise in domestic electronics production over the past decade. According to government data, electronics production increased from less than Rs 2 lakh crore in 2014-15 to about Rs 13.11 lakh crore in 2025-26, while exports rose to Rs 4.24 lakh crore. The increase in manufacturing, however, has also brought attention to the share of design, intellectual property and components developed within the country. Kumar said this was an area where programmes such as Electropreneur Park could play a role by helping startups move from prototypes to commercial products. @stpiindia @arvindtw techobserver.in/news/egov/st…
