The Government has approved a new tranche of 12 applications worth over Rs. 7,500 crore (US$ 791.89 million) under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Mr. S. Krishnan announced the approvals on November 6, 2026. The latest round also covers projects related to materials and capital goods, widening the scheme’s reach across the electronics supply chain.
The approvals add to the momentum behind ECMS, which aims to build a domestic ecosystem for electronic components and reduce India’s dependence on imports. The Government is keen to strengthen upstream segments such as raw materials and manufacturing equipment, alongside component production. On the same day, the Government also launched the Semicon 2.0 Web Application Portal under the Semicon India Programme, further supporting the development of the country’s electronics and semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
