It pointed out that while investment in robotics is growing globally, robotics in India suffers from heavy venture capital under-representation. Around 70% of the global investment is towards Europe, the US and Israel, it said.Nasscom submitted its feedback to the government on October 31.It said replacing manual scavenging in sectors like the railways, spot spraying robots in agriculture to reduce human exposure to harmful chemicals, and assistive technology for senior citizens in healthcare would be good use cases for robotics adoption.The public sector should locally manufacture parts like motors and electronics for robots, as this would have ‘cascading benefits’ for the private ecosystem, the feedback said. “We need the participation of public sector entities to create a viable and scalable supply chain for robotics in India.
