New Delhi: The government has approved 22 new proposals under the third tranche of the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), with projected investments of ₹41,863 crore and estimated production of ₹2.58 lakh crore, marking a significant push to strengthen India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem. The projects are expected to generate 33,791 direct employment opportunities, according to an official release.
With this round of clearances, the total number of projects approved under ECMS has risen to 46, involving cumulative investments of ₹54,567 crore and direct employment for about 51,000 people across 11 states. The scheme is a key pillar of the Centre’s strategy to deepen domestic value addition in electronics and reduce reliance on imported components.
The newly approved proposals span 11 target product segments with applications across mobile phones, telecom, consumer electronics, automotive, IT hardware and strategic electronics. These include five bare components such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), capacitors, connectors, enclosures and lithium-ion cells; three sub-assemblies including camera modules, display modules and optical transceivers; and three supply chain items—aluminium extrusion, anode material and copper-clad laminates.
In the PCB segment, approvals have been granted to nine companies, including India Circuits, AT&S India, BPL, Signum Electronics and Tata group-linked suppliers, while capacitor manufacturing approvals include Deki Electronics and TDK India. Global and domestic players such as Amphenol, Motherson, Tata Electronics and ATLbattery Technology feature among the approved applicants across connectors, enclosures and Li-ion cells.
Sub-assembly manufacturing approvals include Dixon Electroconnect for optical transceivers, Samsung Display Noida for display modules and Kunshan Q Tech Microelectronics (India) for camera modules. To strengthen upstream supply chains, projects by Hindalco Industries, Wipro Global Engineering and Electronic Materials, and NPSPL Advanced Materials have been approved for aluminium extrusion, copper-clad laminates and anode materials, respectively.
The approved units are spread across eight states—Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan—underscoring the government’s focus on geographically balanced industrial growth. Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the scheme has enabled a growing share of domestic electronics demand to be met indigenously, while positioning India as a long-term growth engine in global electronics manufacturing.
