(a) and (b): Yes, Sir. Based on the proposals received from respective State Government(s), Software  Technology  Parks  of  India  (STPI),  an  autonomous  society  under  Ministry  of Electronics  and  Information  Technology  (MeitY)  has  set-up  65  STPI  centres  across  the country.  Further,  Government  of  India  has  also  approved  20  new  STPI  centres  across  the country. State/UT-wise list of existing and newly approved STPI Centres are at Annexure-I and II.

Apart  from  setting  up  of  STPI  centre  as  above,  Ministry  of  Electronics  and  Information Technology  (MeitY)  had  notified  Electronics  Manufacturing  Clusters  (EMC)  Scheme  in October,  2012  to  provide  support  for  the  creation  of  world-class  infrastructure  along  with common  facilities  and  amenities  for  attracting  investments  in  the  electronics  sector.  The Scheme  was  closed  for  receipt  of  applications  from  October,  2017.  Under  the  Scheme, nineteen(19) Greenfield Electronics Manufacturing Clusters(EMCs) and 3 Common Facility Centres (CFCs) were approved in 15 States across the country.

Based  on  further  requirement  for  strengthening  of  infrastructure  and  to  create  robust electronics  manufacturing  ecosystem  in  the  country,  MeitY  has  introduced  Modified Electronics  Manufacturing  Clusters  (EMC  2.0)  Scheme  on  1st  April,  2020.Till  date,  5 applications  for  setting  up  of  EMC  project  and  1  application  for  setting  up  of  Common Facility  Centre,  have  been  approved  in  6  states  across  the  country.  The  details  of  the applications approved under EMC & EMC 2.0 are at Annexure-III & IV respectively.

(c) and (d):  Currently, two (2) STPI Centres are operational in Bihar at Patna and Bhagalpur. Further, Government of India has approved one (1) new STPI Centre at Darbhanga (Bihar) which is ready for operationalization. Currently, there is no proposal under consideration of Government of India to set-up STPI Centre or EMC in the State of Bihar.
