  • Memflation is affecting India’s electronics sector due to rising prices and shortages of memory chips used in smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices.
  • Memflation refers to inflation caused by shortages and rising prices of DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) and NAND (Not AND) Flash Memory chips.
  • The main causes are increased demand from Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centres, a shift towards High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) production, and reduced supply of conventional memory chips.
