¨
Government
of India has approved the first batch of seven projects under the Electronics
Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS).
¨ The projects involve a total investment of
₹5,532 crore and are expected to boost component production worth ₹36,559 crore
and create over 5,100 direct jobs.
¨ The initiative is aimed at making India
self-reliant in producing High-Density Interconnect (HDI) PCBs, Multi-Layer
PCBs, Camera Modules, Copper Clad Laminates, and Polypropylene Films.
¨ The ECMS has received 249 applications
representing investments of ₹1.15 lakh crore and the potential creation of 1.42
lakh jobs.
¨ The newly approved units are located across
Tamil Nadu (5), Andhra Pradesh (1), and Madhya Pradesh (1).
¨ The projects will help meet 20% of India’s
domestic PCB demand and 15% of camera module sub-assembly requirements.
¨ For the first time, a domestic facility for
manufacturing Copper Clad Laminates (CCL) will be established in India.
¨ Polypropylene films used in capacitors for
the electronics, automotive, and telecom sectors will now be produced locally.
¨ These projects will reduce import dependency,
build trusted supply chains, and lower product costs.
¨
The
scheme complements India’s Semiconductor Mission and Production Linked
Incentive program, completing the electronics value chain from materials to
innovation.
