The central government has approved 22 new projects under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), clearing investments worth INR 41,863 Cr
The projects are expected to generate production worth INR 2.58 Lakh Cr and create nearly 33,800 direct jobs, electronics and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said
The approved projects cover key parts of the electronics supply chain. These include basic components such as printed circuit boards, capacitors, connectors, enclosures and lithium-ion cells
The central government has approved 22 new projects under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), clearing investments worth INR 41,863 Cr.
The projects are expected to generate production worth INR 2.58 Lakh Cr and create nearly 33,800 direct jobs, electronics and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
This is the largest round of approvals under ECMS so far. The scheme is aimed at reducing India’s dependence on imported electronic components and materials.
The approved projects cover key parts of the electronics supply chain. These include basic components such as printed circuit boards, capacitors, connectors, enclosures and lithium-ion cells.
The list also includes sub-assemblies like camera modules, display modules and optical transceivers, along with upstream materials such as aluminium extrusion, anode material and laminates.
The projects will cater to sectors including mobile phones, telecom equipment, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, IT hardware and strategic electronics.
Tata Electronics, Samsung Display Noida, Dixon Electroconnect, Wipro Global Engineering, Motherson Electronic Components, TDK India, Hindalco Industries, and BPL Ltd are among the companies whose projects have been cleared.
Unlike projects from earlier batches that were concentrated in a few regions, the projects cleared in the latest round are spread across eight states – Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
The latest clearances build on approvals given over the past few months. In October 2025, the government cleared seven projects worth INR 5,532 Cr. Last month, 17 projects involving INR 7,172 Cr investments were approved.
The ECMS was notified in April last year. The government earlier said that the scheme received strong interest from industry, with applications proposing investments of over INR 1.15 Lakh Cr received, much higher than the original target.
The scheme is designed to work alongside existing production-linked incentive programmes for mobile phones, IT hardware and telecom equipment. The broader goal is to push India beyond final assembly and build deeper domestic capability in electronics manufacturing.
