Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on Friday cleared 22 fresh proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS),
involving a projected investment of Rs 41,863 crore and estimated production output of Rs 2,58,152 crore, as the government steps up efforts to deepen India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
The latest approvals include proposals from major players such as Dixon Technologies, Samsung Display Noida Pvt Ltd, Foxconn (through Yuzhan Technology India Pvt Ltd) and Hindalco Industries. Collectively, the projects are expected to generate 33,791 direct jobs, according to the ministry.
The approvals mark the third tranche under the ECMS. Earlier, MeitY had approved 24 applications involving investments of Rs 12,704 crore. With the latest round, the total scale of commitments under the scheme has expanded significantly.
Union Minister for Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw handed over approval letters to the selected companies on Friday.
As per a background note issued by the ministry, the newly approved projects cover the manufacturing of 11 target segment products with applications across multiple sectors, including mobile phones, telecom equipment, consumer electronics, strategic electronics, automotive electronics and IT hardware.
Geographically, the projects are spread across eight states — Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan — highlighting the government’s push for regionally balanced growth and wider dispersion of electronics manufacturing capacity beyond a few clusters.
Of the 11 product categories approved, five relate to core components such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), capacitors, connectors, enclosures and lithium-ion cells. Three projects focus on sub-assemblies, including camera modules, display modules and optical transceivers, while the remaining three are supply-chain inputs such as aluminium extrusion, anode material and laminates.
According to the ministry, the latest set of approvals is aimed at strengthening domestic supply chains, cutting import dependence for critical electronic components, and accelerating the development of high-value manufacturing capabilities within the country.
