The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has approved 22 additional proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), with a projected investment of Rs 418.63 billion and expected production of Rs 2,581.52 billion. The latest approvals are estimated to generate 33,791 direct jobs, further strengthening India’s domestic electronics manufacturing ecosystem. The new approvals follow an earlier clearance of 24 applications involving Rs 127.04 billion in investment. With the latest tranche, a total of 46 applications have now been approved under ECMS across 11 states, entailing cumulative investment of Rs 545.67 billion and direct employment for around 51,000 people. The approved projects span 11 target segment products with cross-sector applications across mobile manufacturing, telecom, consumer electronics, strategic electronics, automotive and IT hardware. These include five bare components—printed circuit boards, capacitors, connectors, enclosures and lithium-ion cells—three sub-assemblies comprising camera modules, display modules and optical transceivers, and three supply chain items covering aluminium extrusion, anode material and copper-clad laminates. Approvals for PCB manufacturing, including high-density interconnect boards, have been granted to nine applicants, while capacitor manufacturing approvals have been awarded to Deki Electronics Limited and TDK India Private Limited. High-speed connector manufacturing has been approved for Amphenol High Speed Technology India Private Limited, while enclosure manufacturing for mobile and IT hardware products has been cleared for Yuzhan Technology (India) Private Limited, Motherson Electronic Components Private Limited and Tata Electronics Private Limited. An application for lithium-ion cell manufacturing for digital applications has been approved for ATLbattery Technology (India) Private Limited. In the sub-assembly segment, approvals include optical transceiver manufacturing by Dixon Electroconnect Private Limited, camera module sub-assembly by Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics (India) Private Limited, and display module sub-assembly by Samsung Display Noida Private Limited. To deepen the domestic electronics supply chain, approvals have also been granted to NPSPL Advanced Materials Private Limited for anode material manufacturing, Wipro Global Engineering and Electronic Materials Private Limited for copper-clad laminates, and Hindalco Industries Limited for aluminium extrusion used in mobile phone enclosures, which are currently fully imported. The approved units are spread across eight states—Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan—underscoring the government’s emphasis on geographically balanced industrial growth. Speaking on the approvals, Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the programme has strengthened India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem and enabled a larger share of domestic demand to be met indigenously. Minister of State Jitin Prasada noted that India is increasingly being viewed as a reliable global electronics manufacturing destination amid geopolitical uncertainty. MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan said the current tranche of approvals is critical to achieving the objectives of ECMS by strengthening domestic supply chains and reducing import dependence. The ministry added that the approvals align with the government’s broader vision of positioning India as a global hub for electronics manufacturing.
