What is the story about?
The government has approved 22 investment proposals under the Electronics Component Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme.
The approvals are expected to result in investments of ₹41,863 crore and are likely to generate nearly 37,000 jobs. Output from the 22 approved projects is projected at ₹2.58 lakh crore.
Among the 22 proposals cleared under the Electronics Component PLI scheme are two projects by Dixon Technologies. These include a camera module sub-assembly unit in Uttar Pradesh through a joint venture with Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics and an optical transceiver project in Madhya Pradesh through Dixon Electroconnect.
Other major approvals include Foxconn, marking its first investment into India’s electronic components ecosystem, along with projects from Samsung, Tata Electronics, Motherson Electronics Components and Hindalco Industries.
The approved projects are aimed at building a domestic value chain for key electronic components such as camera modules, display modules and printed circuit boards (PCBs). The scheme also places thrust on enhancing the export competitiveness of India’s electronics component ecosystem.
The latest clearances build on approvals granted earlier under the scheme. In November 2025, the government had cleared 24 projects involving investments of ₹12,700 crore, including 17 proposals worth over ₹7,100 crore in a second tranche, following approvals worth ₹5,500 crore in the previous month. The electronic component PLI scheme, notified in April 2025, carries a total outlay of ₹22,919 crore.
Industry leaders have said that while successive rounds of approvals signal growing confidence in India’s electronics manufacturing push, the next phase will depend on scaling up, strengthening local component ecosystems, and building design capabilities to secure a stronger position in global value chains.
