About Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme

The Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) was launched in 2025 by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

The scheme aims to develop a robust domestic electronic component manufacturing ecosystem by attracting global and domestic investments across the value chain and integrating India’s electronics industry with Global Value Chains (GVCs).

Incentive Structure

The ECMS provides three types of incentive structures.

Turnover-linked incentive is based on the revenue generated by the eligible manufacturing activity.

Capex-linked incentive is linked to investments made in plant and machinery.

Hybrid incentive combines elements of both the turnover-linked and capex-linked models.

Employment Generation

Employment generation is a mandatory requirement for all applicants under the scheme. This applies to both component manufacturers and capital equipment producers.

Tenure

The scheme has a six-year tenure, including a one-year gestation period for the turnover-linked incentive.

The capital expenditure-linked incentive is available for a period of five years.

Focus of the Scheme

The ECMS focuses particularly on passive electronic components. These include resistors, capacitors, speakers, microphones, special ceramics, relays, switches and connectors.

In contrast, active electronic components fall under the purview of the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM).
