The Government of India has approved 22 proposals under the third tranche of the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), with a projected investment of INR 418.63 billion and expected generation of 33,791 direct jobs. The approvals are aimed at expanding domestic electronics component manufacturing and strengthening supply chains across key electronics segments.
According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the latest approvals follow an earlier clearance of 24 proposals involving an investment of INR 127.04 billion. With the third tranche, total approvals under ECMS have reached 46 projects across 11 states, with cumulative projected investment of INR 545.67 billion and direct employment potential of about 51,000.
The newly approved proposals cover manufacturing across 11 target product categories with applications in mobile devices, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, strategic electronics, and information technology hardware. These include five bare components—printed circuit boards, capacitors, connectors, enclosures, and lithium-ion cells—three sub-assemblies, and three supply chain materials.
Approvals for printed circuit board manufacturing, including high-density interconnect boards, have been granted to nine applicants. Capacitor manufacturing approvals have been awarded to Deki Electronics Limited and TDK India Private Limited. Manufacturing of high-speed connectors has been approved for Amphenol High Speed Technology India Private Limited. Enclosure manufacturing approvals have been extended to Yuzhan Technology (India) Private Limited, Motherson Electronic Components Private Limited, and Tata Electronics Private Limited. Approval for manufacturing lithium-ion cells for digital applications has been granted to ATLbattery Technology (India) Private Limited.
In the sub-assembly segment, Dixon Electroconnect Private Limited has received approval for manufacturing optical transceivers, Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics (India) Private Limited for camera module sub-assemblies, and Samsung Display Noida Private Limited for display module sub-assemblies.
To strengthen upstream supply chains, approvals have also been issued to NPSPL Advanced Materials Private Limited for anode material used in lithium-ion cells, Wipro Global Engineering and Electronic Materials Private Limited for copper-clad laminates used in printed circuit boards, and Hindalco Industries Limited for aluminium extrusions for mobile phone enclosures, which are currently fully imported.
The approved units are spread across Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, supporting geographically distributed growth of electronics manufacturing capacity.
Speaking on the occasion, Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the programme has strengthened India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem and enabled larger portions of domestic demand to be met indigenously. Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada said India is increasingly being viewed as a reliable electronics manufacturing destination amid global geopolitical uncertainty.
The ECMS is aimed at reducing import dependence for critical electronic components while supporting the development of high-value electronics manufacturing capabilities in the country.
