Govt clears 22 electronics manufacturing projects; ₹41,863 crore investment pipeline opens

With an aim to reinforce India’s push to deepen its electronics manufacturing supply chain, the government has approved 22 fresh proposals under the third tranche of the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), unlocking a projected investment of ₹41,863 crore.

With the latest clearances, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has now approved a total of 46 applications under the scheme, translating into cumulative investments of ₹54,567 crore and direct employment generation of around 51,000 jobs. In an official release, the government said the newly approved projects alone are expected to create nearly 33,800 direct jobs.

Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the scheme has significantly strengthened India’s electronics ecosystem, enabling a growing share of domestic demand to be met through local manufacturing. Industry observers view the ECMS as a key lever in reducing import dependence while building scale in high-value electronics manufacturing amid global supply-chain realignments.

Focus on core components and sub-assemblies

The latest tranche covers manufacturing across 11 critical product segments, with applications spanning mobile phones, telecom equipment, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, IT hardware and strategic electronics. These include five core components—printed circuit boards (PCBs), capacitors, connectors, enclosures and lithium-ion cells; three sub-assemblies—camera modules, display modules and optical transceivers; and three key supply-chain inputs, including aluminium extrusions, anode material and copper-clad laminates.

Key industry players

Several prominent domestic and global players feature in the approvals. PCB manufacturing approvals have been granted to nine companies, while capacitor production will see investments from Deki Electronics and TDK India. High-speed connector manufacturing has been approved for Amphenol High Speed Technology India. Enclosure manufacturing approvals include Tata Electronics, Motherson Electronic Components and Yuzhan Technology India.

In the sub-assembly segment, Dixon Electroconnect will manufacture optical transceivers, Samsung Display Noida will produce display modules, and Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics India will focus on camera module sub-assemblies.

Supply chain deepening and geographical spread

The government has also cleared projects aimed at strengthening upstream materials, including lithium-ion battery anode materials, copper-clad laminates for PCBs and aluminium extrusions—currently fully imported—for mobile phone enclosures.

The approved units will be spread across eight states, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh, underlining the government’s emphasis on geographically balanced industrial expansion.
