As we already discussed about a rumor that Indian government in planning to develop an App Store for Indians, As per latest news the government is planning to come up with a policy that will facilitate an ecosystem for the industry to create an Indigenous operating system as an alternative to Google's Android and Apple's iOS, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said.

As per current Scenario mobile phone Industry is dominated by two operating systems - Google's Android and Apple's iOS that are driving the hardware ecosystem as well according to their neural engines and software's.

Mr.Chandrasekhar said that "There is no third one. Therefore, in a lot of ways there is tremendous interest in MeitY and in the Government of India to even create a new handset operating system. We are talking to people. We are looking at a policy for that,"

He said that the government is looking for capabilities within start-up and academic ecosystems for development of an indigenous operating system (OS). The operating system is the main software of any computer and mobile device that weaves in the entire hardware and software system for effective functioning of the OS.

Also Said that "If there is some real capability then we will be very much interested in developing that area because that will create an alternative to iOS and Android which then an Indian brand can grow,"

The minister said that most of the policies and policy tools are being re-looked at in the context of reimagining goals and ambitions. "Important is to have clear goals. Once we have clear goals and what is that we have to achieve then all the policies and actions will be consistent with it," Chandrasekhar said.

He along with Minister for Communications and IT Ashwani Vaishnav released the second volume of Vision Document on Electronics Manufacturing prepared by the industry body ICEA whose members include Apple, Lava, Foxconn, Dixon etc. The document details a road map for achieving $300 billion (roughly Rs. 22,55,265 crore) electronics manufacturing in the country by 2026 from the current level of $75 billion (roughly Rs. 5,63,820 crore).

Mr. Chandra sekhar also added that "This report is very precise which talks about where USD 300 billion (roughly Rs. 22,55,265 crore) will come, what industry has to do and what the government needs to do. This is an example of how industry and government should set targets for the country. The manufacturing will be USD 300 billion and exports worth $120 billion (roughly Rs. 9,02,195 crore) will happen. This is the government of India's objective now."

At present, India's electronics export is around $15 billion (roughly Rs. 1,12,775 crore). The minister said it is the desire of the Prime Minister and the goal for the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) to create domestic champions in each of the leading product categories.

"The number of foreign banks have increased in India. For the first time, the stock market and public markets are financing and investing in technology start-ups and companies. That kind of transformation has happened. Today Lava, Dixon, or Boat or any of these companies have the ability to raise capital, equity which they did not have six years ago," the minister said.

India’s objective to develop a home-grown Operating System is in line with PM Narendra Modi’s aim to boost the country’s tech industry. Further details need to be published officially
