Identify robotics use cases in government departments, PSUs: Nasscom

The government should take steps to drive robotics adoption and spur demand in the sector, apex IT industry body Nasscom said. It called for the government to identify robotics use cases in its departments and public sector entities and promote or mandate them to adopt robotics through digital transformation projects.

“Based on inputs from stakeholders, we understand that one of the major reasons for investments not picking up India is lack of public sector participation – lack of use-cases and thereby not spurring sufficient demand,” Nasscom said in its feedback regarding the draft National Strategy on Robotics released by the ministry of electronics and IT on October 13.
