## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (e)  :  Driven  by  the  Hon'ble  Prime  Minister's  vision  of  Make  in  India  and Atmanirbhar Bharat, Government of India has taken several policy initiatives to develop a complete ecosystem of electronics manufacturing.

The Government is following a targeted and structured policy to promote electronic manufacturing, starting from the manufacturing of finished products to sub-assemblies and then targeting both semiconductor and non-semiconductor components of electronics.

India has witnessed a remarkable growth in electronics manufacturing in last decade, which is evident from table below:

| #                                   | 2014-15      | 2024-25       | Remarks           |
|-------------------------------------|--------------|---------------|-------------------|
| 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 |

This transformation has been made possible by various initiatives taken by the Government in the last decade to attract foreign investments, strengthen export competitiveness and position India as a global electronics manufacturing hub.

Some of these are as follows:

- Production-linked incentives (PLI) for large-scale electronics manufacturing
- Production-linked incentives (PLI) for IT Hardware
- Scheme  for  Promotion  of  Manufacturing  of  Electronic  Components  and  Semiconductors (SPECS)
- Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC and EMC 2.0) Scheme
- Electronics Manufacturing Component Scheme (ECMS)
- Public  Procurement  (Preference  to  Make  in  India)  Order  2017  to  prioritize  domestically manufactured products in public procurement
- Reforms in taxation including rationalization of tariff structure including, exemption on basic custom duty on capital goods, etc

## Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS)

To  deepen  and  broaden  the  electronics  manufacturing  ecosystem,  Government  launched  the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) in April 2025.

The scheme aims to develop robust component manufacturing ecosystem by attracting investments (global/domestic) across the value chain.

The  scheme  covers  sub-assemblies  such  as  Display  Modules,  Camera  Modules,  Optical Transceivers;  key  components  such  as  Printed  Circuit  Boards  (PCBs),  passive  components, electro-mechanical components; capital equipment for electronics manufacturing; and their supply chain.

## Response to ECMS Scheme:

The initiative has received overwhelming response from the industry so far. Against the target investment of Rs. 59,350 crores, investment proposals worth 1.15 Lakh Cr have been received. Till  date,  46  applications  have  been  approved  across  11  states  under  the  ECMS  scheme.  The applications are expected to attract an investment of Rs 54,567 crores, leading to production of Rs 3.67 lakh crore and new employment generation of 50,794 direct jobs.

## ECMS projects in Tamil Nadu:

Out of 46 approved applicants, 11 are in Tamil Nadu. Proposed investment in these projects is Rs 32,738 crores and employment generation of 27,857.

The list of such approved projects along with the approved product in the state of Tamil Nadu is annexed.

## Electronics Manufacturing Clusters

Government is  running a  scheme  for  building  world-class  Electronics  Manufacturing  Clusters (EMCs).

These EMCs provide electronics manufacturing infrastructure, ready industrial plots and Ready Built Factory (RBF) / Plug-and-Play facilities EMCs attract investments, create employment and boost the ESDM sector.

In the State of Tamil Nadu, two (02) greenfield EMC projects, namely EMC Pillapaikkam and EMC Manallur have been approved. Details are as below:\

EMC Pillapaikkam approved with a project outlay of Rs 424.55 crores, with central financial assistance  of  Rs.212.27  crores.  This  covers  an  area  of  379.3  acres  and  is  expected  to  attract investment of Rs 8,737 crores and generate employment of about 14,519 persons

EMC  Manallur approved  with  a  project  outlay  of  Rs  587.47  crores,  with  central  financial assistance  of  Rs  293.74  crores.  This  covers  an  area  of  474.3  acres  and  is  expected  to  attract investment of Rs 4,175 crores and generate employment of about 16,900 persons
