The facility is expected to be operational by 2026 and will provide over 1,000 jobs in its first phase.

The Centre has sanctioned Rs 1.44 billion under the Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) 2.0 scheme, while YEIDA will fund the remaining Rs 3.4 billion. The remaining 156 acres comprise 66 industrial plots of various sizes and 39 acres earmarked for roads, utilities, and green zones.
