History

Serving Indian PCB industry since 1985

The Indian Printed Circuit Association had its humble beginning in the year 1985, when a few leading PCB technocrats met at Bombay (now Mumbai) with the intention to promote the interests and welfare of PCB industry and allied industries in general.  Thus, a new chapter in the history of PCB industry in this country emerged with IPCA at the helm of affairs under the able leadership of its Founder President, Dr. Venkatachalam, MD of Hi-Q Electronics, Hosur, and the Founder Secretary, Mr. R.K. Singh, then from ECIL, Hyderabad. 

​

Today, with the expansion of PCB industry, the membership has risen to an impressive level of more than three hundred plus, aiming inter alia to the advancement of education and technology in science and application of electronic circuit design. The leading public sector units of both Telecommunications and Defense who are the major users and manufacturers of PCBs, are on the rolls of the Association along with the private, small scale, medium and large scale PCB manufacturers, raw material and equipment manufacturers in the country.
