NEW DELHI: Mobile phone makers such HMD Global, Lava and Panasonic<\/a> are finalising plans, including investments, for higher scale of local manufacturing, in tandem with the government’s likely imposition of duty on imported printed circuit board (PCB) assembly from the coming fiscal year.
\n
Heads of HMD Global — makers of Nokia brand of phones,
Lava International<\/a> and Panasonic India<\/a> — said the government’s phased manufacturing programme (PMP), which envisages increasing the scale of local manufacturing by specifying components on which import duties will be levied over couple of years, could make India a manufacturing hub over the long term. But, the duty impositions may drive prices of devices<\/a> higher in short term as the component ecosystem wasn’t in place.
\n
\n“We are working with our partners to manufacture more and more components (in India). SMT is definitely on the cards for us,” said Ajey Mehta, head of India at HMD Global that makes the Nokia brand of devices in India through the world’s largest contract manufacturer Foxconn. He was speaking at the ET Telecom India Mobile Conclave 2018.
\n
SMT, or surface mounting technology, lines are used for populating printed circuit boards (PCBs). The government is likely to impose basic
customs duty<\/a> on electronic components such as populated PCBs, camera modules and connectors from April 1. The government has already put a 20% duty on smartphones in the February 1 Budget, raising it from 15% within two months.
\n
\"We have a complete plan for 10 years so that design and component manufacturing can happen in India,\" said Lava International chairman
Hari Om<\/a> Rai.
\n
\nHMD’s Mehta though said that the cost of the devices in the near term could go up due to the import duty on some components.
\n
\nPCB makes up 40-50% of the cost of making a phone, so a duty on the import of the component will increase prices in the near term, but push local manufacturing in the longer term, handset makers said.
\n
The evolving mobile phone ecosystem though has become a critical platform for content providers, with some like
Airtel<\/a>'s Wynk and AltBalaji now beginning to monetise content.
\n
\n\"We have a combination of subscription and ads for monetization, but it's very early days, some new models will also emerge,\" said Sameer Batra, CEO, Wynk, Bharti Airtel, adding that the cost of content was still high, and, therefore, carrier billing will play a big role, given the low proliferation of credit cards in India.

新德里:HMD全球这样的手机厂商,熔岩和松下敲定计划,包括投资,更高的当地制造业的规模,配合政府的征收关税进口印刷电路板(PCB)从即将到来的财政年度大会。

HMD全球首脑——诺基亚品牌的手机制造商,熔岩国际松下印度——表示,政府分阶段生产计划(PMP),该设想增加当地制造业的规模通过指定组件的进口关税将征收的几年中,可能使印度长期制造中心。但是,责任的实施可能会推动价格设备高在短期内生态系统组件不到位。

“我们正在与我们的合作伙伴生产越来越多的组件(在印度)。SMT绝对是可能对我们来说,“Ajey Mehta说印度HMD全球,使得诺基亚品牌在印度的设备通过全球最大的合同制造商富士康。他是在等电信印度移动2018年秘密会议。

“我们有一个完整的10年计划,以便设计和组件制造发生在印度,“熔岩国际主席说哈里Om意大利广播电视公司。
