Ahmedabad, 22 June – The Government of Gujarat has launched the Electronics Component Manufacturing Policy-2025 with a focus on transforming the state into a global hub for electronics production. The policy, unveiled on Sunday by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, aims to reduce the country's dependence on imported components by promoting investment exceeding Rs. 35,000 crore, facilitating swift disbursement of financial assistance, and offering incentives to projects approved by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
As per agency report, the policy ensures that all projects approved and supported by MeitY will be eligible for 100 percent central assistance if they are set up in Gujarat. An official statement noted that such projects will receive incentives from both the central and state governments through a single-window approval system, and the disbursement of assistance will be completed within 30 days.
Under the central government’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), the Gujarat policy provides an additional top-up over the central assistance and ensures timely delivery of the financial aid. Projects that receive approval under ECMS will automatically qualify for equivalent state support, with Gujarat disbursing its share within 30 days of the central release.
The policy specifically targets reducing import dependency by strengthening domestic production capacity in key areas such as multi-layer and HDI printed circuit boards, lithium-ion cells, SMD passive components, display and camera modules, and supporting machinery used in component manufacturing.
In addition to enhancing technological capabilities, the policy is expected to generate substantial employment opportunities in Gujarat’s electronics manufacturing sector by encouraging high-skill job creation. With its dual-incentive model and commitment to rapid implementation, the Electronics Component Manufacturing Policy-2025 is poised to play a significant role in positioning Gujarat as a competitive and self-reliant player in the global electronics ecosystem.
