Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said that the government has approved seven projects worth Rs 5,532 crore, out of 249 proposals received under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme. He said the production of electronics components from the approved projects is likely to reduce the import bill of around Rs 20,000 crore.

Moreover, he stated that proposals for the manufacturing of multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) or motherboard base, camera modules, copper laminates, and polypropylene films (used in capacitors for consumer electronics) have been approved. Approvals have been granted for four projects from the Kaynes Group, and one project each from Syrma Group, Ascent Circuits of Amber Group, and SRF. Kaynes' four projects at an investment of Rs 3,280 crore comprise the production of multi-layer PCBs worth Rs 4,300 crore, camera module sub-assembly worth Rs 12,630 crore and HDI (High-Density Interconnect) PCBs worth Rs 6,875 crore.

The Ascent Circuits project, entailing Rs 991 crore investment, is likely to produce multi-layer PCB worth Rs 7,847 crore, Syrma Strategic Electronics' Rs 765 crore investment would make multi-layer PCB worth Rs 6,933 crore, and SRF's investment proposal of Rs 496 crore is estimated to produce polypropylene film worth Rs 1,311 crore.  Vaishnaw said the PCB projects approved in the initial phase will meet 27 per cent of the total domestic demand and 15 per cent of the camera modules requirement. He said that first copper laminates and polypropylene films used in capacitors will be made in India, and they will meet 100 per cent of the domestic demand.
