## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN THE REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. *248 FOR 17.12.2025 REGARDING ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING CLUSTERS IN PUNE

………

(a) to (f): The Government of India's electronics policy is guided by the Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat. It focuses on building the complete electronics manufacturing ecosystem and an enabling environment for industry to complete globally.

The policy strategy encompasses manufacturing of finished products, modules, components, submodules, tools, raw materials and machinery required for electronics production.

As a result of this comprehensive and ecosystem-driven approach, India has achieved significant growth in electronics manufacturing:

|-------------------------------------|---------------|---------------|---------------------|
| Production of electronics goods (₹) | ~1.9 Lakh Cr  | ~11.3 Lakh Cr | Increased 6 times   |
| Export of electronics goods (₹)     | ~0.38 Lakh Cr | ~3.3 Lakh Cr  | Increased 8 times   |
| Production of mobile phones (₹)     | ~0.18 Lakh Cr | ~5.5 Lakh Cr  | Increased 28 times  |
| Export of mobile phones (₹)         | ~0.01 Lakh Cr | ~ 2 Lakh Cr   | Increased 127 times |

In line with this vision, the Government notified the Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) Scheme in April 2020.

The  scheme  supports  the  creation  of  world-class  electronics  manufacturing  infrastructure  by providing financial assistance for the development of dedicated clusters with common facilities.

These clusters offer shared infrastructure and amenities, including ready industrial plots, Ready Built  Factory  (RBF)  sheds,  and  plug-and-play  facilities,  to  enable  rapid  establishment  of electronics manufacturing units.

Under  the  scheme,  one  electronics  manufacturing  cluster  has  been  approved  in  the  State  of Maharashtra at Ranjangaon in Pune district, with the projected cost of ₹ 492.85 crore. It covers an area of 297.11 acre.

The proposal has projected investment of ₹2,000 crore  and creation  of  5000  jobs.  Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) is acting as Project Implementing Agency (PIA) for this project.

The Financial support from Government of India for this project is ₹207.98 crore and the remaining amount will be provided by MIDC.

## State government's role

- State Government through PIA, is responsible for implementation and operationalisation of the electronics manufacturing cluster
- It undertakes statutory clearances, infrastructure planning and development.
- Includes creation of common utilities, and provision of plug-and-play facilities for units in the cluster.
- Also facilitates necessary approvals for setting up electronics manufacturing units within the cluster.

Government of India has approved two Common Facility Centres (CFCs) in Maharashtra under the EMC Scheme:

| Location                                           |   Total Project Cost (₹ crore) |   Government of India's Financial Assistance (₹ crore) |
|----------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Pimpri Industrial Area, Pune                       |                          67    |                                                  50    |
| Shendra Industrial Area, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar |                          41.09 |                                                  29.29 |

These CFCs provide shared facilities for design, prototyping, testing and measurement to support electronics industries in the region.
