Summary
The Indian government has approved seven projects worth ₹5,532 crore under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) to strengthen domestic production of key electronic parts such as PCBs, camera modules, laminates, and polypropylene films. The projects — led by companies including Kaynes Circuits, Syrma Strategic Electronics, Ascent Circuits, and SRF Ltd — are expected to generate over 5,000 direct jobs and reduce import dependency by up to ₹20,000 crore annually. With five projects in Tamil Nadu and others in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, the move signals India’s shift from mere assembly to high-value component manufacturing, aligning with the government’s ‘Make in India’ and Atmanirbhar Bharat missions.
