Electronics Manufacturing in India has received another major boost with the approval of two new Tamil Nadu EMCs.
The Centre has backed the projects to strengthen domestic manufacturing and attract fresh investments. The move supports India's goal of becoming a global electronics hub.
Electronics Manufacturing has grown rapidly over the past decade. The latest projects add to the country's expanding production ecosystem.
The government has approved two new Electronics Manufacturing Clusters in Tamil Nadu. These clusters will provide infrastructure for companies making electronic products. They are also expected to create jobs and encourage more investments.
The first cluster will come up at Manallur.
Key details include:
The second cluster will be developed at Pillapaikkam.
Its details are:
Together, the two projects represent an investment of more than Rs 1,000 crore. They are expected to strengthen Tamil Nadu's position as a leading electronics manufacturing destination.
The government has introduced several initiatives since 2014 to expand the electronics sector. These efforts have significantly increased domestic production.
According to the government, electronics production has increased seven-fold since 2014. Today, around 99.2% of mobile phones sold in India are manufactured within the country. Electronics exports have also grown 11-fold during the same period.

The government is also investing in artificial intelligence as global demand for AI technologies rises. Support is being extended to startups and research institutions developing Large Language Models and Small Language Models.
The government has approved the establishment of AI Centres of Excellence across the country. A total of 58 centers will be set up in partnership with state governments and industry players. These centers will focus on research, innovation, and skill development.
Artificial intelligence also remains an important part of India-US technology cooperation. Under the Pax Silica initiative, both countries plan to improve access to AI computing infrastructure and processors. The partnership also aims to speed up joint research and development in advanced AI technologies.
The approval of two new EMCs, continued semiconductor investments, and expanding AI initiatives reflect India's long-term strategy. The country is building a stronger technology manufacturing ecosystem while positioning itself as a competitive global electronics and innovation hub.
