IT Ministry Proposes ₹40,000 Crore Package to Boost Electronics Manufacturing
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is preparing to seek cabinet approval for a ₹40,000 crore package aimed at bolstering electronic components manufacturing in India. This initiative is part of the government’s vision to position India as a global hub for electronics production.
Strengthening Domestic Production
The package is expected to provide incentives for manufacturing critical electronic components such as semiconductors, display units, and printed circuit boards. With the global supply chain under increasing pressure, this move aims to reduce India’s reliance on imports while fostering self-reliance in the electronics sector.
A senior government official noted, “This scheme will incentivize investments in key areas of electronic manufacturing, ensuring India meets its growing domestic and export demands.”
Key Areas of Focus
The proposed package will cover a wide range of electronic components, promoting innovation and advanced manufacturing technologies. It is anticipated to attract significant foreign direct investment (FDI) and encourage partnerships with global technology firms.
Supporting the ‘Make in India’ Vision
The initiative aligns with the government’s ‘Make in India’ mission and Digital India program, which aim to create a robust electronics manufacturing ecosystem. Industry experts believe this could significantly enhance India’s competitiveness in the global electronics market.
If approved, the ₹40,000 crore package will not only support large-scale production but also create thousands of jobs, contribute to economic growth, and strengthen India’s position as a key player in the global electronics supply chain.
