In an effort to drive the growth of high-value manufacturing capabilities in India, the government has approved 22 more investment proposals worth Rs 41,863
crore under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The proposals are expected to generate production worth Rs 2,58,152 crore and 33,791 direct employment opportunities, the government said in a statement on Friday. The fresh approvals comprise manufacturing of 11 target segment products with cross sectoral application such as mobile manufacturing, telecom, consumer electronics, strategic electronics, automotive and IT hardware products. These products include five bare components like PCB, capacitors, connectors, enclosures and li-ion cell; three sub-assemblies like camera module, display module and optical transceiver and three supply chain items like aluminium extrusion, anode material and laminate (copper clad).
What is ECMS?
In April 2025, the government launched the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme with a total outlay of Rs 22,919 crore. The scheme was launched to boost India’s electronics component manufacturing landscape. It aims to build manufacturing capabilities, pull in investments and integrate India into global value chains.As of September 30, 2025, investment commitments under ECMS stood at Rs 1,15,351 crore, which is nearly double the original target of Rs 59,350 crore.
The incentive outgo is projected at Rs 41,468 crore, around 1.8 times the original estimate of Rs 22,805 crore. The scheme is also aimed at generating 1,41,801 direct jobs, breaching the 91,600 mark, along with indirect job opportunities.
Under the third ECMS leg, companies to have received the approvals include Deki Electronics Limited, TDK India Private Limited, Motherson Electronic Components Private Limited, Tata Electronics Private Limited, Samsung Display Noida Private Limited and Wipro Global Engineering and Electronic Materials Private Limited, among others.
These companies will manufacture components like capacitors, connectors, enclosures for mobile, IT hardware products and related devices, li-ion cells for digital applications, optical transceiver (SFP) and laminate (copper clad).
The approved units would be set up in eight states, including Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
With the fresh approvals, a total of 46 applications have been approved under the ECMS so far across 11 states, with a total investment of Rs 54,567 crore, generating 51,000 direct job opportunities.
Strengthening Domestic Supply Chains
The fresh investment approvals under ECMS are aimed at strengthening domestic supply chains, reducing import dependence for critical electronic components and aid the growth of high-value manufacturing capabilities in India.Union IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the programme has strengthened India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem, enabling large portions of domestic demand to be met indigenously.
Outlining the vision for the electronics sector, he added that India would still be a very young demography in 2047 when growth would have stopped in many other economies.
Meanwhile, MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan said that the applications approved in the current tranche are important for the electronic manufacturing ecosystem of the country and help realise one of the significant goals of ECMS.
