NEW DELHI: In continuation to the approvals of 24 applications for Rs 12,704 crore announced earlier, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has further approved 22 proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) with projected investment of Rs 41,863 crore and projected production of Rs 2,58,152 crore. Total 33,791 direct employment opportunities are expected to be created with these approvals.
The approvals include manufacturing of 11 target segment products, which have cross sectoral application such as mobile manufacturing, telecom, consumer electronics, strategic electronics, automotive and IT hardware products.
The 11 products are as follows:
• 5 bare components like printed circuit board (PCB), capacitors, connectors, enclosures and li-ion cell
• 3 sub-assemblies like camera module, display module and optical transceiver
• 3 supply chain items like aluminium extrusion, anode material and laminate (copper clad)
The approvals for PCBs (including HDIs) have been given to 9 applicants which include India Circuits Private Limited, Vital Electronics Private Limited, Signum Electronics limited, Epitome Components Private Limited, BPL Limited, AT & S India Private Limited, Ascent-K Circuit Private Ltd, CIPSA TEC India Pvt Ltd and Shogini Technoarts Pvt Ltd.
Further, approval for manufacturing of capacitors, which are essential for energy storage and power conditioning in electronic circuits, has been awarded to Deki Electronics Limited and TDK India Private Limited, a major global manufacturer of electronic components and systems.
For manufacturing of high-speed connectors, approval has been given to Amphenol High Speed Technology India Private Limited. For manufacturing of enclosures for mobile, IT hardware products and related devices, approval has been granted to Yuzhan Technology (India) Private Limited, a global manufacturer of electronic components, Motherson Electronic Components Private Limited, a leading Indian manufacturer of electronic components and systems, and Tata Electronics Private Limited, a leading Indian electronics manufacturer and a trusted global brand.
Also, an application for manufacturing of li-ion cells for digital applications, which serve as rechargeable energy storage units for consumer and industrial electronics, has been approved for ATLbattery Technology (India) Private Limited, one of the leading global players in Li-ion cells manufacturing.
In sub-assembly category, approval has been given to Dixon Electroconnect Private Limited for manufacturing of optical transceiver (SFP); Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics (India) Private Limited for manufacturing of camera module sub assembly; and Samsung Display Noida Private Limited, one of the top global electronics brands, for manufacturing of display module sub-assembly.
To deepen the electronics manufacturing supply chain, approvals have also been given to NPSPL Advanced Materials Private Limited for manufacturing of anode material which is a critical item for lithium-ion cell manufacturing that determines energy density and life-cycle of li-ion cells; Wipro Global Engineering and Electronic Materials Private Limited for manufacturing of laminate (copper clad), which is the base material for PCB manufacturing and constitutes a significant part (~30 per cent) of the bill of materials of PCB manufacturing; and Hindalco Industries Limited for manufacturing of aluminium extrusion for mobile phones enclosures, which are currently being fully imported.
The approved units are spread across eight states viz. Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, reinforcing the Government’s focus on geographically balanced industrial growth and expansion of electronics manufacturing across the country.
With the latest tranche of approvals, a total of 46 applications have been approved under the ECMS so far across 11 states, with a total investment of Rs 54,567 crore, generating direct employment for about 51,000 people.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw noted that this programme has strengthened India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem, enabling large portions of domestic demand to be met indigenously.
These approvals will significantly strengthen domestic supply chains, reduce import dependence for critical electronic components, and support the growth of high-value manufacturing capabilities in India.
