and raw-material manufacturing. The latest approvals strengthen
the indigenous (“Swadeshi”)
electronics value chain and support India’s ambition to become a globally competitive electronics
manufacturing hub.
[ABS News Service/18.08.2026]
In continuation to the approvals of 75
applications involving investment of Rs 61,671 crore announced earlier, the Ministry
of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has
further approved 31 proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme
(ECMS) with projected investment of Rs 6,844 crore. The event of handing over of
approvals was held at New Delhi in collaboration with Electronic Industries Association

Electronics Component
Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS)
The Government launched
ECMS to deepen the supply chain ecosystem and develop a robust electronics component
ecosystem in the country.
It aims to attract investments
across key components such as Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), passive components,
electro-mechanical components, sub-assemblies, camera modules, optical transceivers,
and capital goods required for electronics manufacturing.
The scheme is accelerating
the development of and deep rooted ‘Swadeshi’ electronics value chain, moving beyond
assembly to domestic manufacturing of critical components and essential raw materials.
Of the 106 projects approved so far, including 31 approved on August 17th,, 38 plants
have already commenced manufacturing, while another 16 projects are at advanced
stages of construction or machinery installation. The latest approvals include first
ever domestic manufacturing of critical components such as filters, coils and speakers,
along with essential raw materials such as acetylene black and electrolyte additives.
The scheme is also driving greater Atmanirbharata and economic growth, with capacity for enclosures
meeting around 100% of domestic demand. The approved investment under ECMS has now
increased to ₹69,548 crore, up from the ₹59,350 crore investment originally
envisaged under the scheme.
The Electronic Industries Association
of India (ELCINA), established in 1967 as India’s first industry association supporting
electronics hardware, has played a longstanding role in promoting electronics manufacturing
and representing the industry’s interests before Government and other stakeholders.
