## Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0)

The Government of India notified the modified EMC 2.0 Scheme in April 2020.

The  scheme  provides  world  class  infrastructure,  logistic  and  plug  and  play  facility  for  electronics manufacturing.  These  include  ready  industrial  plots  and  Ready  Built  Factory  (RBF)/Plug-and-Play facilities.

Under  EMC  2.0,  one  greenfield  EMC  has  been  approved  at  Ranjangaon,  Pune  with  project  cost  of Rs.492.85 Cr covering an area of 297 acres. Project investment in the EMC is about Rs.2,000 crore and projected employment generation of 5000 jobs.

Government of India has released 70% of the approved Grant-in-Aid (GIA) amounting to Rs.145.59 crore. In  terms  of  the  project  guidelines,  the  remaining  30%  of  the  fund  will  be  released  upon  achieving milestones and other terms and conditions.

The physical progress  of  the  project  has  reached  an  advanced  stage,  with  approximately  80%  of  the infrastructure completed. The anchor units -M/s IFB Refrigeration Ltd. and M/s Starion H K India have started production.

Under the Scheme, a Common Facility Centre (CFC) has also been approved at Pimpri Industrial Area, Pune with project cost of Rs.67 crore. CFC will provide shared facilities for design, prototyping, testing and measurement to support electronic industries in the region.

The progress of these projects is regularly monitored through quarterly reports, review meetings, and site visits.

In addition, the Project Review Committee (PRC) and the Governing Council (GC) periodically review the progress. These committees comprise representatives from various Ministries, State Governments, implementing agencies, and industry.
