Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC), pending clearance from the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY).This manufacturing unit will produce single, multilayer, HDI, and flexible PCB's. These are critical components used in consumer electronics, automotive, telecom, and renewable energy sectors. The unit is expected to help in reducing India's import decreasing patterns on PCBs, which is a critical gap in India's electronics value chain ecosystem.The government has also approved two additional proposals from the Syrma Group. One of these is a Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) facility at Syrma Components Pvt. Ltd. valued at 417.78. This project is being given 10 acres of land at 75% subsidised at Menakuru village. The second project is an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) facility from Syrma SGS Technology Ltd. valued at 100 crore. This project is being given 4.14 acres by the APIIC under the A.P. Electronics Manufacturing Policy 4.0 (2024­29).The State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) has approved these projects based on the recommendations from the State Investment Promotion Committee and at its meeting on August 28. SSEPL TO BUILD INDIA LARGEST PCB UNIT IN ANDHRA PRADESHThe Andhra Pradesh government has given its approval for Syrma Strategic Electronics Pvt. Ltd. (SSEPL) to invest 1,076 crore in the construction of a printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing facility at Menakuru village, close to Naidupeta, in the Tirupati district.An official statement states that the SSEPL unit will be the first to be grounded under the recently introduced Electronics Components Manufacturing and Supply (ECMS) SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC PARTNERS WITH ISRO TO BOOST SPACE TECHNOLOGYSchneider Electric has unveiled a new cooperation with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) through offering advanced technology for automation at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC SHAR) in Sriharikota. This cooperation, announced today, will facilitate end-to-end operations for satellite and launch vehicle missions to further Schneider Electric's trusted technology partner status in India's odyssey in space."India's space journey is a symbol of innovation, resilience, and global leadership-and we at Schneider Electric are honoured to be a part of this remarkable mission," said Deepak Sharma, Zone President, Greater India, MD & CEO, Schneider Electric India.The company stated that it has already installed several automation systems on mission-critical applications at SDSC SHAR. This is a development of Schneider Electric's 15-year-long strategic alliance with ISRO, during which its technology has had paramount impact on key projects such as Chandrayaan-3 and GSLV-F16. With augmented operational reliability provided by the solutions, ISRO will benefit from operational efficiencies that will support future missions for India's expanding space programme.ISRO has been steadily building its resume with notable milestones like the Mars Orbiter Mission and its Chandrayaan programme to the Moon. As ISRO focuses on an increased number of satellite launches and deep space plans, the organization is looking to deepen its ecosystem of partnerships. Schneider Electric's best-in-class automation systems will enable ISRO not only to improve efficiencies, but also give them the ability to scale to the future requirements of India's space ambitions.This latest partnership exemplifies how industry leaders are aligning with ISRO to bolster India's growing status in the international space economy.
