The government raises the Electronics Component Manufacturing Service (ECMS) outlay to ₹4.82 billion from ₹2.76 billion, reflecting accelerated commitment to electronics component localization. The scheme approves 11 product categories including PCBs, Li-ion cells, and camera modules, with companies like Tata Electronics, Motherson, ATLbattery, and Dixon participating.
ECMS Expansion Details
Allocation Increase
The ECMS outlay has been raised to ₹4.82 billion from ₹2.76 billion, representing a 75% increase in government support for component localization.
11 Product Categories Approved
The expanded scheme covers:
– PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards)
– Capacitors
– Li-ion cells
– Camera modules
– Transceivers
– And six additional component categories
Key Participants
Major companies approved for ECMS support include Tata Electronics, Motherson, ATLbattery, Dixon, and other specialized component manufacturers.
Manufacturing Impact
Electronics import substitution accelerates as domestic companies develop capabilities in critical components. Component cost reduction supports EV and mobile manufacturing competitiveness. Supply chain deepening creates demand for upstream materials and equipment. EV and mobile manufacturing benefits from lower component costs and domestic supply chain resilience.
The ECMS expansion represents critical infrastructure for India’s push toward electronics self-reliance and reducing import dependency in critical component categories.
