03 Oct 2025 Evaluate

Union Minister for Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw has said that the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme has received investment proposals worth Rs 1.15 lakh crore. He said the proposals have exceeded investment, employment and production targets multi-fold when compared to the goals set during formulation of the scheme. He said application window for Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme closed on September 30. He said ‘I would say about 60 per cent of the applications are from MSME players. That is what is very heartening because when the smaller players get confidence about the programme, about the policy, that is a big game changer.’

The minister said that the government has envisaged getting investment of around Rs 59,000 crore under the scheme and that the application window for capital equipment segment is still open. China at present dominates the capital equipment segment and recently it had informally stalled supplies of the goods for electronics production in the country especially that of iPhones. He said that the government will also focus on production of materials that are used in manufacturing electronic components. A total of 249 companies have submitted applications which will be screened by a committee before approval.    

He said that the incentive will be given on a first come first serve basis to the companies who meet their investment, production etc goals as per the guidelines at the earliest. He said ‘against a production target of Rs 4,56,500 crore, we have received production estimates more than Rs 10,34,000 crore’.
