HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The discussion highlights the Indian government’s significant investment in domestic manufacturing and technology development. Key programs mentioned include the India Semiconductor Mission, a US$300 billion initiative to establish a complete semiconductor ecosystem, including ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging), OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test), fabs, and design infrastructure. Additionally, the Electronic Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes are designed to bolster the local supply chain and drive exports, with a target of over US$50 billion in mobile phone exports alone.
Artificial intelligence and robotics are identified as critical growth areas for India. The ESC actively supports AI technology companies to help them compete in the global market, recognizing that AI integration is essential for modern technology products. The council assists its members in navigating market trends and provides platforms for them to showcase their work. This support extends to companies across all of India’s tech hubs, including Bangalore, Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon, fostering a nationwide entrepreneurial environment.
The council’s presence at the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair underscores its strategy to increase the international visibility of Indian companies. While only a small contingent of five to six companies attended the current event, the ESC is planning to bring a delegation of over 50 companies to the next edition. This expansion is supported by the Consulate General of India in Hong Kong and Macau, which assists with logistics and visas for participating firms.
This interview was conducted at the Hong Kong Fairs in April 2026. The ESC provides substantial support to its members for such events, including sponsorship for participation and airfare reimbursement. By leveraging Hong Kong’s position as a central sourcing hub, the council aims to connect Indian technology manufacturers and software developers with global buyers and partners, providing them with crucial market insights and business opportunities.
