ELCINA’S BACKGROUND
When India’s electronics sector was in its infancy, the Electronic Industries group of India (ELCINA) was founded in 1967 as the first industry group supporting electronic components and hardware. ELCINA has now become known as an interactive platform for electronics producers.
The primary goal of ELCINA is to encourage value-added manufacturing, research and development, and business expansion in the Electronic System Design & Manufacturing (ESDM) industry. ELCINA accomplishes this through information sharing, industrial research, policy support, and facilitating the creation of a countrywide efficient ecosystem. Through B2B and B2G industry initiatives, we collaborate with all stakeholders, technical institutes, and industry groups to encourage business expansion.
