## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

- (a)  to  (f):    Government  initiatives  in  last  ten  years  have  resulted  in  establishment  of  a  strong electronics manufacturing ecosystem in India. It can be seen from the following:

| #                                     | 2014-15        | 2024-25      | Remarks             |
|---------------------------------------|----------------|--------------|---------------------|
| Production of electronics goods (Rs.) | 1.9 Lakh Cr    | 11.3 Lakh Cr | Increased 6 times   |
| Export of electronics goods (Rs.)     | 38 thousand Cr | 3.27 Lakh Cr | Increased 8 times   |
| Mobile manufacturing units            | 2              | 300          | Increased 150 times |
| Production of mobile phones (Rs.)     | 18 thousand Cr | 5.45 Lakh Cr | Increased 28 times  |
| Export of mobile phones (Rs.)         | 1,500 Cr       | 2 Lakh Cr    | Increased 127 times |

| Mobile phone imported (units)   | 75% of the total demand   | 0.02% of the total demand   |
|---------------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------|

To further broaden and deepen the electronics component manufacturing ecosystem, Government of India notified Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) on 08th April 2025. It aims to develop robust component manufacturing ecosystem by attracting investments (global/domestic) across the value chain, leading to increase in Domestic Value Addition (DVA) and increase in the share of India's exports in global electronic trade by integrating its domestic electronic industry with the Global Value Chains (GVCs).

The target segment covered under the scheme are sub-assemblies, bare components, their complete supply chain ecosystem and Capital equipment and their sub-assemblies as well.

The investment thresholds and incentive rates are different for all products covered under the target segment. The scheme provides for turnover linked incentives, capital incentive as well as a hybrid of both incentives in a few cases. Further, to promote employment generation in the country, a part of the incentive has been earmarked on achievement of employment thresholds.

Relevant details of the scheme are available on the website ecms.meity.gov.in

The  Electronics  Component  Manufacturing  Scheme  is  a  pan  India  initiative  scheme.  The applications for the Scheme are currently being accepted on the portal.
