Haryana Gears Up to Become a Major Electronics Manufacturing Hub with New ECMS Incentives

Chandigarh, October 24 – Haryana is taking decisive steps to establish itself as a key electronics manufacturing hub under the Central Government’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The state plans to roll out new incentive schemes under its draft ECMS policy, offering both financial and non-financial benefits to attract investors.

Chief Secretary Shri Anurag Rastogi chaired a high-level meeting today to review strategies for developing the state’s electronics component manufacturing ecosystem, including setting up manufacturing plants. The draft policy proposes incentives such as reimbursement of capital and operational expenditure, support for green energy projects, technology acquisition, skill development, and research and innovation facilities.

Shri Rastogi highlighted that the state government aims to attract large-scale investment, create new employment opportunities, and strengthen Haryana’s role in the global electronics value chain. Domestic electronics production in India has grown at a 17% CAGR since 2015, while the design and component manufacturing ecosystem is still in its early stages. Currently, Haryana contributes around 2.9% (USD 0.8 billion) to India’s total electronics exports and supports approximately 1.3 million jobs.

Dr. Amit Kumar Aggarwal, Commissioner & Secretary of Industries & Commerce, Haryana, noted that under the Central ECMS scheme, investors can avail turnover-linked and capital investment-based benefits ranging from 1% to 25%. Following the examples of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh, Haryana is exploring additional top-up incentives to strengthen its competitive position and attract ECMS-approved investors.

Shri Rastogi directed the Industries & Commerce Department to prepare a detailed plan and proactively engage with potential investors. Bilateral meetings will be held by November 10 with 11 applicants interested in establishing ECMS-approved manufacturing units in Haryana, while outreach will also continue with 50 other companies yet to finalize project locations.

To ensure better coordination and investor facilitation, the state government will appoint dedicated relationship managers for each potential investor. These officials will assist with land identification, regulatory approvals, departmental coordination, and incentive procedures.

Shri Rastogi emphasized that Haryana aims to create a business-friendly and competitive ecosystem conducive to the establishment of advanced electronics component manufacturing units.

Senior officials present included Smt. G. Anupama, Additional Chief Secretary of the Department of Citizen Resource Information, and Shri Yash Garg, Director-General of Industries & Commerce, Haryana.
