Direction: A passage is given, followed by an inference. You have to examine the inference in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity.
The domestic market for electronic hardware in the country is likely to grow from Rs.1800 crore to about Rs. 6500 crore per annum in the next few years. The Government is likely to further restrict foreign exchange needed for imports. So far, India has been importing about 80% of the components required for manufacturing electronic gadgets. The country produced only “Passive Components” like resistors, capacitors and inductors. Even integrated Circuits (ICs) are being produced in a small way at high cost. Semi-conductors have remained India’s weak spot.
