Electronics Scheme Crosses ₹69,500 Cr With 31 New Approvals

Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has approved 31 proposals with a projected investment of Rs. 6,844 crore. The approvals have been granted under Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS).

With these latest approvals, a total of 106 applications have been approved under the scheme so far, with a cumulative investment of Rs. 69,548 crore.

Working of ECMS and How It Differs From PLI

The Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) is an incentive programme launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in April 2025. The scheme aims to develop a robust electronics component manufacturing ecosystem by attracting investments.

Unlike the earlier Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, which primarily focus on incremental production, ECMS links incentives to turnover, CapEx and employment generation, thereby broadening the scope of performance metrics under the scheme.

MeitY Targets Manufacturing of 20 Products Across Four Categories

The 31 approved applicants will undertake the manufacturing of 20 target products that span across multiple segments. These products fall under four categories: sub-assemblies, components, supply chain products, and capital goods.

Off the 20 products, sub-assemblies account for 3 products: Camera Module, Display Module and Optical Transceiver -SFP. Components category covers 10 products, which includes Enclosures, Connectors, Transducers, Speakers & Microphones, Relays, Antenna, Coils, Filters, Capacitors and Metal Shielding Covers.

Six products identified under the supply chain category are Anode Material, Rare Earth Permanent Magnets, Acetylene Black, Electrolyte Additives, Metallized Films for Capacitors and Hermetic Terminals. Also, capital goods and their parts are included in the scope.

Six Applicants Approved for Manufacturing Sub-Assembly Products

Under sub-assembly category, approval for manufacturing display modules has been granted to Minda Instrument Ltd. and TXB Optics Private Limited. Further, SkyQuad Electronics & Appliances Pvt. Ltd. received approval for manufacturing of camera modules.

SFO Technologies Pvt. Ltd., GX Quantum Photonics Pvt. Ltd. and Huber Suhner Electronics Pvt. Ltd. were granted approvals for manufacturing of Optical Transceiver- Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP).

Strengthening Electronic Components Manufacturing Ecosystem

Fourteen applicants have received approval for manufacturing of 10 electronic components. Off these fourteen applicants, approval for manufacturing of connectors has been allotted to Amphenol Interconnect India Pvt. Ltd., Ennovi Mobility Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. and Rosenberger Interconnect India Private Limited. Meanwhile, Allied Engineering Works Limited and Gruner India Private Limited were approved for manufacturing of Relays.

Applicants approved for transducer manufacturing include Centum Electronics Ltd and Sensata Technologies India Private Limited. Production of Filters to Centum Electronics Ltd.

Other approved applicants include Centum Electronics Ltd. for filters manufacturing, Globe Capacitors Pvt. Ltd. for capacitors manufacturing, Syrma SGS Technology Limited for coils manufacturing. Also, Wangda Technologies Private Limited will undertake manufacturing of Metal Shielding Covers. Brandworks Precision Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd. has been approved for Speakers & Microphones.

As for Antenna and Enclosures, Britannia RFID Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. and Micromax Precision Moulding Pvt. Ltd. were approved for manufacturing of these products respectively.

Deepening Electronics Manufacturing Supply Chain, 6 Critical Products Identified

To strengthen the electronics manufacturing supply chain, six applicants were given approval for manufacturing six critical products. Among them, Epsilon C2GR Private Limited has been approved for manufacturing of anode materials. Anode materials are a critical component for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells as they determine the cell’s life and energy density.

Quantum Magnetics Private Limited has been allotted approval for production of Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPMs). REPMs are an integral part of electronics manufacturing supply chain as they cater to various business segments’ demands. REPMs are used in Electric vehicle (EV) motors and traction systems, wind turbine generators, consumer and industrial electronics, Aerospace and defence equipment, etc.

For the manufacturing of Acetylene Black, i.e. a conductive additive for Li-ion cells, MeitY approved PCBL Chemical Limited. Production of Electrolyte Additives has been allotted to Acutaas Chemicals Limited. Further, Capfilm India Private Limited has been approved for manufacturing of Metallized Films for Capacitors.

Also, JJ Glastronics Private Limited got approved for manufacturing of Hermetic Terminals, a critical component used to create leak-proof electrical pathways through a sealed barrier.

Additionally, MeitY approved Rs. 1,033 crore investment proposed by Wipro Global Engineering and Electronic Materials Pvt. Ltd. for manufacturing Copper Clad Laminate. Wipro had already secured approval in a previous tranche, meaning this funding builds on top of its initial investment.

Five Applicants Approved for Capital Goods Production

Emphasizing the need for development of domestic manufacturing capability in capital goods and their parts, approvals were granted to five applicants. Approved applicants under this category are Jyoti CNC Automation Limited, VVDN Technologies Private Limited, Accurate Gauging and Instruments Pvt. Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric India Pvt. Ltd., Ind Sphinx Precision Limited.

MeitY Expects Production Output of Rs. 5.3 lakh Cr

Speaking on this recent development, Mr. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister, Ministry of Electronics & IT, Railways and Information & Broadcasting, said: “The latest approvals include first-ever domestic manufacturing of diverse critical components such as filters, coils and speakers, along with essential raw materials such as acetylene black and electrolyte additives.”

MeitY expects to generate a projected production output of Rs 5,34,101 crore, along with direct employment for 74,628 individuals from projects approved under ECMS.

Mr. Vaishnaw further added that among the 106 projects approved so far, 38 projects have already commenced operations. Also, 16 more projects are at advanced stages of construction or machinery installation.
