India is gaining momentum to establish its identity in the space and we believe, the MoU will help both the nations to expand bilateral trade.” “India is emerging as the fascination for many global ESDM leaders primarily due to its mature market, availability of talents and the expertise India can bring to the ESDM supply chain with components like designing, embedded system, VLSI etc. We believe India’s ESDM industry is at an inflection point and the MoU can only strengthen our commitment towards each other,” said Hajime Tomokage, President ASTSA.
