In a significant push towards boosting India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem, the Union Government has approved a ₹417 crore investment for the development of an Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC 2.0) in Sector-10, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. The project will be developed by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) across 206.4 acres near the upcoming Jewar International Airport.

Slated for completion by January 2028, the EMC 2.0 is expected to attract investments worth ₹2,500 crore and create approximately 15,000 employment opportunities. Anchored by leading consumer electronics manufacturer Havells, which will invest ₹800 crore and receive 50 acres for setting up facilities for domestic appliances, the project underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening local manufacturing under the “Make in India” initiative.

“This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat and emphasises the central government’s focus on high-impact job creation and world-class infrastructure development,” said Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Of the total ₹417 crore cost, ₹144 crore will be contributed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) as central financial assistance, while YEIDA will fund the remaining. The cost of land acquisition is excluded from this allocation.

The proposed cluster will host state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a skill development centre, a convention facility, and a three-storey hostel block. In addition to domestic appliances, the EMC will support the production of industrial electronics, medical devices, computer hardware, and communication equipment, according to MeitY.

This announcement follows the earlier declaration of an HCL-Foxconn semiconductor OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) unit near Jewar Airport, entailing an investment of ₹3,700 crore, marking the sixth project under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM).

The Uttar Pradesh government is also set to unveil a state-level top-up to the Centre’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), with expectations of a ₹10,000 crore incentive package aimed at drawing more manufacturers to the state.

Uttar Pradesh currently accounts for 25% of India’s electronics manufacturing output and contributes nearly 50% to the nation’s mobile phone production. While Tamil Nadu leads in electronics exports, Uttar Pradesh remains at the forefront of the domestic output, particularly in the Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway regions.

The EMC 2.0 site is strategically located, benefiting from excellent connectivity through the Yamuna Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the upcoming Palwal–Khurja Expressway. Its proximity to Jewar Airport and nearby industrial zones such as the Medical Device Park and MSME & Apparel Park further enhances its logistical appeal.

The government confirmed that funds under the EMC 2.0 scheme will be disbursed until April 2028 and emphasised the collaborative role of the Uttar Pradesh government in ensuring timely execution.
