In continuation of approval of seven applications for Rs 55.32 billion announced earlier, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has approved 17 more proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). These approved projects span across the country with a total investment of Rs 71.72 billion, cumulative projected production of Rs 651.11 billion, and creation of 11,808 direct employment opportunities. The approved units are spread across 9 states including Goa, Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh.
The second tranche includes a wide range of components and sub-assemblies, such as:
- India’s first-ever optical transceiver (SFP) manufacturing facilities by Jabil Circuit India Private Limited and Zetchem Supply Chain Services Private Limited;
- Oscillators for precise timing applications in communication devices, computers, and industrial electronics by Rakon India Private Limited; high-end precision
- Enclosures for laptops and smartwatches by Aequs Consumer Products Private Limited;
- Camera Modules by ASUX Safety Components India Private Limited, Uno Minda Limited, and Syrma Mobility Private Limited;
- Connectors for electronic applications by TE Connectivity India Private Limited;
- Multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) by nine companies – Hi-Q Electronics Private Limited, Secure Circuits Limited, Zetfab India Private Limited, Ehoome IOT Private Limited, Sierra Circuits (India) Private Limited, Meena Electrotech Private Limited, AT & S India Private Limited, Micropack Private Limited, and Infopower Technologies Private Limited.
These components serve key sectors including smartphones, IT hardware, wearables, telecom, electronic vehicles (EVs), industrial electronics, defence, medical electronics, and renewable energy.
Meanwhile, minister of Electronics and IT highlighted that ECMS is unlocking the next phase of value chain integration, from devices to components and sub-assemblies, ensuring India’s electronics sector reaches $500 billion in manufacturing value by 2030-31.
Approved applicants expressed strong appreciation for the government’s decisive support under ECMS, noting that MeitY’s proactive engagement, transparent processes, and fast-track approvals have been instrumental in advancing their projects. Industry leaders affirmed that the ministry’s responsive, solution-oriented approach has boosted industry confidence and strengthened India’s position as a trusted global manufacturing hub.
Further, the minister also launched the first-generation energy-efficient edge silicon chip (SoC) (ARKA-GKT1), jointly developed by Cyient semiconductors Private Limited and Azimuth AI. The platform-on-a-chip SoC integrates advanced computing cores, hardware accelerators, power-efficient design, and secure sensing into a single chip, delivering up to 10 times better performance while reducing cost and complexity. It supports smart utilities, cities, batteries, and industrial internet of thing.
Furthermore, the minister emphasised, “ECMS demonstrates India’s readiness to compete with global manufacturing powerhouses and showcases the country’s commitment to creating resilient and trusted supply chains.”
