“It's a historic number. Unprecedented applications have come in the ECMS. This shows that the global trust in India for electronic manufacturing is being converted into investments, production and employment,” Vaishnaw said at a press briefing. On the Cabinet's ECMS outlay of ₹22,919 crore being exceeded in the investment round, the government has said the scheme is limited by available funds.
