The India Opportunity: A Manufacturing Revolution in Motion
India has emerged as an epicenter of transformation in the global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry. Driven by the China +1 strategy adopted by many global companies and the government’s Production Linked Incentive scheme, India’s EMS sector is by many accounts witnessing unprecedented momentum.
This dynamic landscape features a compelling dual ecosystem: established multinational EMS giants alongside a thriving network of innovative domestic manufacturers. The convergence of these forces has created a manufacturing environment that demands industry-wide attention and strategic understanding.
EMSNOW’s Inaugural India EMS Tour
Recognizing this pivotal moment in global manufacturing, EMSNOW is proud to announce our first-ever comprehensive India EMS Tour, scheduled for September 7-19, 2025. This groundbreaking initiative will deliver unprecedented access to the stories, strategies, and operational insights of India’s leading EMS companies.
Our mission extends beyond traditional industry reporting. We’re committed to providing an authentic, in-depth exploration of both the compelling opportunities and practical challenges that define manufacturing in this rapidly evolving market.
We have already secured agreements to meet with 11 EMS companies in 3 different regions of India, and we expect to have several more confirmations shortly. Following the meetings with these EMS companies, EMSNOW will attend productronica/electronica India for two days where we will connect with even more EMS. As in the past, there will be regular podcasts, an industry report at the conclusion of the tour, and profiles on all companies visited.
Strategic Partnership & Exclusive Access
EMSNOW is partnering with the Global Electronics Association in India (formerly IPC India) on this tour, ensuring our tour benefits from their deep local expertise and industry relationships. A dedicated representative from their organization will accompany our team throughout the journey, facilitating meaningful connections and ensuring comprehensive coverage.
“India is emerging as a vital hub for electronics manufacturing, driven by its engineering talent, expanding infrastructure, and a growing role in the global supply chain,” explained Sneh Shah, board member and director of sales – Asia of Aimtron Electronics, one of the companies EMSNOW will be visiting on the tour. “Aimtron Electronics has been operating in India for over a decade, with world-class facilities in Gujarat and Bengaluru, supporting global customers in aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors. We see India not only as a strategic location for high-quality, cost-effective manufacturing, but also as a center for innovation and collaboration. Eric’s trip underscores the importance of strengthening partnerships, exploring advanced manufacturing capabilities, and contributing to India’s role in shaping the future of the global electronics ecosystem.”
“‘We look forward to showing the team from EMSNOW our newest factory,” added Vivek Khanna, managing director of INDIC EMS Electronics. “INDIC Electronics has been a leading name in the electronics manufacturing industry since 2007, driven by a commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Our cutting-edge facility, located in the IT hub of Bangalore, India ensures top-notch production and delivery.”
“There’s no substitute to visiting an EMS facility in person,” concluded Eric Miscoll, EMSNOW publisher. “I’ve visited dozens of facilities in Mexico, the United States, China, SE Asia, Europe, and Tunisia, learning about their operations, meeting with the management team in person, and coming away with unique insights and understanding of this industry. This trip to India will enable EMSNOW to offer our audience timely and unmatched business intelligence about this vital geography, based on first hand knowledge.”
