According to Business-Today, the Indian government has approved 31 more applications under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), involving proposed additional investments of Rs 7,877 crore. The projects will manufacture products including printed circuit boards (PCBs), camera modules, optical transceivers, electronic enclosures and materials used to make components, the report said.
Approval acceleration and production readiness
Business-Today reported that electronics and IT secretary S Krishnan told reporters that facilities being set up by Kaynes Technology, Dixon Technologies, Wipro and Motherson are expected to begin operations over the next few months. Krishnan said work has started on several approved projects, with some facilities nearing the production stage, and that the government has worked to accelerate project approvals and ensure that companies commence production quickly.
"The writing is literally on the wall in terms of the projects grounded, work commenced, and where production in the electronic sector is truly picking up." — S Krishnan, electronics and IT secretary, as reported by Business-Today.
Company-level project breakdown
According to the Business-Today report, Krishnan revealed specific project details for the four companies expected to start production soon. Kaynes Technology is expanding its capabilities in printed circuit boards and associated materials. Dixon Technologies is investing in components used across smartphones and other electronic products in Noida. Wipro's approved project will manufacture laminates, a key base material for printed circuit boards, while Motherson is investing near Chennai in enclosures used in mobile phones, IT hardware and related devices.
