In a major boost to India’s electronics manufacturing ambitions, the Government of India has approved 22 proposals under the third tranche of the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The approvals, announced by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on January 2, 2026, involve a projected investment of ₹41,863 crore and are expected to generate 33,791 direct employment opportunities, significantly strengthening India’s domestic electronics ecosystem.
Scale of Investment and Production Impact
With the latest approvals, the ECMS continues to gain momentum. The newly approved proposals are expected to lead to a projected production output of ₹2,58,152 crore. These approvals follow the earlier clearance of 24 applications worth ₹12,704 crore, taking the total approved investment under ECMS so far to ₹54,567 crore.
Collectively, 46 applications have now been approved across 11 states, with the programme expected to generate around 51,000 direct jobs, underscoring its strong employment and industrial impact.

Geographically Balanced Industrial Growth
The approved units are spread across eight states—Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan—reinforcing the government’s focus on balanced regional industrial development and widespread electronics manufacturing growth.
Government’s Vision for Electronics Manufacturing
Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, said the ECMS has strengthened India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem, enabling a large share of domestic demand to be met indigenously. He highlighted India’s long-term demographic advantage, noting that while growth will slow in many global economies, India is expected to continue growing well beyond 2047 and even till 2100, making it crucial to build strong manufacturing foundations today.
Minister of State Shri Jitin Prasada noted that India is emerging as a reliable global electronics manufacturing destination, particularly amid geopolitical uncertainties.
MeitY Secretary Shri S. Krishnan emphasised that the current tranche plays a crucial role in achieving the core objectives of the ECMS.
Conclusion
The approval of 22 proposals under the third tranche of the ECMS marks a decisive step in India’s journey towards becoming a global hub for electronics manufacturing. By strengthening domestic supply chains, reducing import dependence, and creating large-scale employment, the scheme aligns closely with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and positions India for sustained, high-value industrial growth.
