22 electronics projects get govt nod
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|January 03, 2026
Five companies from Apple's vendor ecosystem are among 22 electronics manufacturing proposals approved by the government under its component manufacturing scheme, with investments expected to reach ₹41,863 crore, an official aware of the matter said on Friday.
Electronics and information technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, on the sidelines of detailing the third tranche of approvals, also signalled a push towards electronics and mechanical design capabilities in India, asking the industry to submit a plan within six weeks. The government can bear capital investments while industry covers operating costs, he offered.
The approvals under the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) include Foxconn-linked Yuzhan Technology, Tata Electronics, Motherson Electronic Components, ATL Battery Technology India, and Hindalco Industries—all part of Apple’s ecosystem—some of which will play a crucial role in exports to the tech giant's international locations, news agency PTI quoted people aware of the matter as saying.
