India has approved a fresh tranche of 22 proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), marking a major push to deepen domestic electronics manufacturing. The projects involve a projected investment of Rs. 41,863 crore and expected production of Rs. 2,58,152 crore. They are also likely to create 33,791 direct jobs. With this, the total approvals under ECMS have reached 46 applications across 11 states, with cumulative investment of Rs. 54,567 crore and around 51,000 direct employment opportunities.
Key Features of the Approvals
The latest approvals cover 11 target segment products with cross-sector use in mobile phones, telecom, consumer electronics, strategic electronics, automotive systems and IT hardware. These include:
- Five bare components – PCB, capacitors, connectors, enclosures and Li-ion cells.
- Three sub-assemblies – camera module, display module and optical transceiver.
- Three supply chain items – aluminium extrusion, anode material and laminate (copper clad).
Focus on Critical Components
The approvals for PCBs, including HDIs, have gone to nine applicants, including India Circuits, Vital Electronics, Signum Electronics, Epitome Components, BPL, AT & S India, Ascent-K Circuit, CIPSA TEC India and Shogini Technoarts. Capacitor manufacturing has been approved for Deki Electronics and TDK India. High-speed connector production has been cleared for Amphenol High Speed Technology India.
Strengthening Domestic Supply Chains
Several approvals are aimed at reducing import dependence in key areas. Enclosures for mobile and IT hardware have been approved for Yuzhan Technology (India), Motherson Electronic Components and Tata Electronics. ATLbattery Technology (India) will manufacture Li-ion cells for digital applications. In the sub-assembly segment, Dixon Electroconnect will make optical transceivers, Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics will produce camera module sub-assemblies, and Samsung Display Noida will manufacture display module sub-assemblies.
Geographical Spread and Policy Significance
The approved units are spread across Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. This reflects the policy aim of balanced industrial growth across regions. The scheme is designed to build high-value manufacturing capacity, strengthen electronics supply chains and support India’s goal of becoming a global electronics manufacturing hub.
