Gujarat is taking bold steps to reduce India’s import dependency in electronics manufacturing with the launch of its Electronics Component Manufacturing Policy-2025. With a target to attract over ₹35,000 crore in fresh investments, the state aims to become a key pillar in global electronics supply chains.
Unveiled by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, the policy provides a powerful incentive framework — especially for projects approved by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY). These projects will receive 100% Central support, along with a matching top-up from the Gujarat government, disbursed within 30 days of the Centre’s assistance. This single-window, dual-benefit approach promises faster execution and reduced red tape.
Why This Policy Matters
- Fast-tracked incentives: MeitY-approved projects in Gujarat get Centre + State support with simplified approvals.
- Investment target: ₹35,000+ crore across key components like PCBs, lithium-ion cells, SMDs, camera/display modules, and more.
- High-skilled jobs: The policy aims to create substantial employment in electronics component manufacturing.
- Tech independence: Reducing import dependency while boosting domestic production resilience.
- R&D and talent pipeline: Grants up to ₹12.5 crore for Gujarat institutions to set up Centres of Excellence, finishing schools, and applied research labs.
The policy is tightly aligned with the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) from the Centre, helping Gujarat plug directly into national and international supply chain ambitions.
What’s Covered?
The policy covers high-demand electronic components and sub-assemblies including:
- Multi-layer and HDI PCBs
- Lithium-ion battery cells
- SMD passive components
- Camera modules, displays, and other precision electronic parts
- Production machinery and tooling
By focusing not just on final assembly but on core components, the policy supports deeper value creation and aims to elevate Gujarat’s position in the Global Value Chains (GVCs) of electronics.
Deadline to Apply
The window for applying under this policy closes on July 31, 2025. Units already availing benefits under Gujarat’s Electronics Policy 2022-28 are not eligible — this policy is exclusively for fresh and MeitY-linked projects.
Bottom Line
Gujarat’s latest policy is more than just a subsidy scheme — it’s a structural push to localize the core of electronics manufacturing. With a clear focus on speed, support, and supply chain integration, it offers manufacturers an urgent and lucrative reason to rethink where they build their next plant.
