Ye sab kyun ho raha hai?
Bas ye naye government rules ki wajah se hai jo Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) ne banaye hain. In rules ke according, CCTV cameras ko kuch strict 'essential requirements' poora karna padega. Yeh rules April 2024 mein aaye hain aur inhe follow karne ke liye do saal ka time diya gaya tha. Sabse important baat ye hai ki manufacturers ko apne System-on-Chip (SoC) jaise main components ka 'country of origin' batana hoga. Aur haan, products ko STQC labs mein test bhi pass karna hoga taaki koi security vulnerability na ho jisse bahar se koi access kar sake.
Market mein macha hai khaleejli!
Ye strict certification process Hindi mein Hikvision aur Dahua jaise Chinese manufacturers ke liye practically band hai, kyuki pehle ye log Indian market mein kaafi share rakhte the. Official logo ne confirm kiya hai ki government in companies aur Chinese chipsets wale products ko certification nahi de rahi. Iska seedha fayda India ki local brands ko ho raha hai, jaise ki CP Plus, Prama, Matrix, aur Sparsh. Ye Indian companies pehle hi Taiwanese chipsets aur local firmware use karne ke liye apni supply chains change kar chuki hain.
Market data batata hai ki February tak Indian players ka share market mein 80% se zyada ho gaya hai, jo pehle sirf one-third tha. CP Plus ka example lo, unka market leadership 20-25% se badh kar 45-50% ho gaya hai. Kuch Chinese companies ne toh market chhod diya hai, jabki Hikvision jaisi companies ko Indian partners ke saath joint ventures banane pade hain aur supply chain badalni padi hai sirf kaam chalaane ke liye.
Ab kharcha badhega?
Chinese suppliers se door jaana aur components ki origin batana, in sab cheezon se manufacturing cost badh rahi hai. Analysts ka maanana hai ki CCTV cameras ke Bill of Materials (BoM) mein 15-20% tak ki badhotri ho sakti hai. Iske saath hi memory aur processors ki global shortage bhi chal rahi hai, jiski wajah se final product prices bhi zyada ho rahe hain. Haalanki kuch badi companies local components use kar rahi hain cost kam karne ke liye, lekin overall surveillance equipment ab mehenga hone wala hai.
