The Challenge Space targets Japanese companies that have no experience exhibiting at electrical and electronics trade shows in India and no local sales base in India, such as a local subsidiary or sales partner; this is the first time the space has been established.
The value of electronics exports expanded approximately eightfold from fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2024, reaching 34.3 billion dollars, while the domestic value-added rate remained at 18–20 percent. Policy priorities have expanded from finished-product assembly to electronic components, materials, manufacturing equipment, and subassemblies.
The India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 (ISM 2.0) was approved by the Cabinet on July 15, 2026, and forecasts that the market will grow from 45–50 billion dollars in 2024–2025 to 100–110 billion dollars by 2030. By the end of 2025, 10 related projects in six states, totaling approximately 16.8 billion dollars, had been approved.
