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.
