India’s Electronics Dream Gets a ₹41,863 Crore Upgrade

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has approved 22 additional proposals under the third tranche of the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), involving a projected investment of ₹41,863 crore.

With these approvals, the total number of projects sanctioned under the scheme has risen to 46. The newly approved proposals are expected to generate production worth ₹2,58,152 crore and create 33,791 direct jobs—more than double the combined production value achieved under the first two tranches.

The projects span 11 product segments, including mobile phones, telecom equipment, consumer electronics, IT hardware, automobiles and strategic electronics. They cover a wide range of components such as printed circuit boards, capacitors, camera and display modules, lithium-ion cells, and key supply chain materials like aluminium extrusions and anode materials.

These manufacturing units will be established across eight states—Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan—supporting balanced industrial growth and the expansion of electronics manufacturing across the country.
