Government clears 22 electronics manufacturing projects worth ₹41,863 crore

The latest approvals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme are set to accelerate domestic component production, create nearly 34,000 direct jobs, and strengthen India’s electronics supply chain across multiple high-growth sectors.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has approved 22 additional proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), involving a projected investment of ₹41,863 crore and estimated production output of ₹2.58 lakh crore. The newly approved projects are expected to generate 33,791 direct employment opportunities and significantly enhance India’s component manufacturing capabilities.

These approvals follow an earlier clearance of 24 proposals worth ₹12,704 crore, taking the total number of ECMS-approved applications to 46 across 11 states. Cumulatively, the scheme has now attracted investments of ₹54,567 crore and is expected to create around 51,000 direct jobs.

Focus on critical components and sub-assemblies

The latest tranche covers manufacturing across 11 target product categories that have applications spanning mobile devices, telecom equipment, consumer electronics, automotive systems, strategic electronics, and IT hardware. These include five core components such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), capacitors, connectors, enclosures, and lithium-ion cells; three sub-assemblies comprising camera modules, display modules, and optical transceivers; and three key supply-chain materials including aluminium extrusion, anode material, and copper-clad laminates.

PCB manufacturing approvals, including high-density interconnect boards, have been granted to nine companies, while capacitor production has been assigned to Deki Electronics and TDK India. Amphenol High Speed Technology India will manufacture high-speed connectors, while enclosure manufacturing approvals have gone to Yuzhan Technology India, Motherson Electronic Components, and Tata Electronics. ATLbattery Technology India has been cleared for lithium-ion cell manufacturing.

In the sub-assembly segment, Dixon Electroconnect, Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics India, and Samsung Display Noida have received approvals, strengthening India’s position in higher-value electronics manufacturing.

Strengthening supply chains and regional growth

To reduce import dependence, approvals have also been issued for anode material manufacturing, copper-clad laminates used in PCBs, and aluminium extrusion for mobile enclosures—items that are currently largely imported. The approved units will be spread across eight states, reinforcing the government’s push for geographically balanced industrial development.

Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the scheme is helping India meet a growing share of domestic demand through indigenous manufacturing. Minister of State Jitin Prasada added that India is emerging as a reliable global electronics manufacturing destination amid geopolitical uncertainty, while MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan noted that the approvals align closely with ECMS’s long-term objectives of building a resilient, high-value electronics ecosystem.
