New Delhi: The Centre has approved 22 projects under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), paving the way for an estimated investment of ₹41,863 crore, including three manufacturing units proposed in Haryana.
The Haryana-based projects have been approved for Signum Electronics Ltd, India Circuits Pvt Ltd and ATL Battery Technology (India) Pvt Ltd. These units will focus on manufacturing multilayer printed circuit boards and lithium-ion cells used in digital applications, and are expected to create nearly 3,967 direct jobs.
The remaining approvals span seven states — Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan — reflecting the government’s push for regionally balanced industrial development and wider expansion of India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
With this round of clearances, the total number of approved applications under the ECMS has reached 46 across 11 states. These projects together account for a cumulative investment of ₹54,567 crore and are projected to generate direct employment for around 51,000 people.
Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said the scheme has played a key role in strengthening India’s domestic electronics manufacturing base, enabling the country to meet a substantial portion of its internal demand through indigenous production. He added that the approved projects would help deepen domestic supply chains, reduce reliance on imports for critical components and support the development of high-value manufacturing capabilities.
Highlighting the long-term vision for the sector, Vaishnaw said India would continue to benefit from a young demographic profile even in 2047, at a time when growth in several other global economies is expected to slow. He asserted that India could remain a growth engine well beyond mid-century, underlining the need to build strong industrial foundations now.
The minister also emphasised the importance of design, quality, skill development and domestic sourcing as core pillars of the electronics industry. He noted that while industry would drive these efforts, the government would provide strategic support, following a model where industry contributes the bulk of the effort, similar to practices adopted by leading manufacturing economies in East Asia.
