Union Minister of India Inaugurates State-of-the-Art EMI/EMC Laboratories at SAMEER, Chennai
Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Electronics & Information Technology and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India dedicated fully automated state-of-the-art, Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (EMI/EMC) laboratories for qualifying the electronic equipment and systems for Military and Civilian Applications. These laboratories are established at SAMEER- Centre for Electromagnetics, Chennai.
Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar highlighted that the Government of India has been promoting indigenous ecosystem for the development and manufacturing of defense and aerospace products in the country. It is mandatory that defense and aerospace products qualify for the Military Standards (MIL-STD) and DO standards before deployment.
According to a National Survey, the total Indian market for EMI and EMC tests is estimated to be approximately INR 640 – 660 crore and it is expected to touch approximately INR 1,000 – 1,200 crore by the year 2030. This growth in demand for these testing requirements is expected to be driven by increasing indigenization in manufacturing of the electronic components and products.
Pursuing the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiatives, SAMEER-Centre for Electromagnetics (CEM) has established state-of-the-art, Military Standards (MIL-STD) testing laboratories for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) compliance at Chennai. This program is funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. With the rising need for next-generation technologies, reduced time to make products market-ready, and the need for stringent compliance requirements associated with consumer awareness, SAMEER-CEM is fully prepared to meet the challenges of EMI/EMC compliance.
Dr. P. Hanumantha Rao, Director General, SAMEER, said, “It is a milestone achievement in the journey of SAMEER’s efforts as an R&D Laboratory, to develop, deploy and successfully commission advanced EMI Laboratory. SAMEER’s services were utilised by many Government Industries/labs, MNCs, Start-up industries, SSI/MSME, etc. who are manufacturing different categories of products like Automotive, Military, ISM, Avionics, etc. SAMEER’s services were utilised by many companies to get CE mark, FCC ID, etc. for their products, which is essential to export their products to EU, USA, etc. SAMEER has been actively pursuing R&D in the areas of Intentional Electromagnetic EMI (IEMI) and high energy Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to protect the critical electronic infrastructure”.
