The Central Government has approved 22 new projects under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) to accelerate electronics manufacturing.

An investment of about ₹ 41,863 crore and production of about ₹ 2.58 lakh crore is expected from these projects. This initiative is likely to create around 33,791 direct jobs, which is a strong positive signal for employment.

The companies receiving approval include big industry players like Dixon, Samsung Display Noida, Foxconn’s Yuzhan Technology India and Hindalco Industries. This is the third tranche of ECMS, covering 11 product segments including mobile phones, automotive, strategic electronics and IT hardware.

Projects will be spread in 8 states, which will promote balanced regional growth. Overall, ECMS is being considered an important step towards taking India out of import dependency and making it a global electronics manufacturing hub.

Donald Trump New tariff: US President Donald Trump has announced to impose 25 percent on goods imported from India from India, which is going to be implemented from 1 August. This is likely to affect the industry like pharmaceuticals and textiles.

However, there is also an industry that has survived from the US tariff for the time being. Here the electronic industry of the country is being talked about. That is, even after August 1, exports of products like smartphones, laptops and servers from India will continue to be done without 25 percent tariffs.

Why is the tariff not being imposed on electronics product?

In fact, the US is continuing its investigation under Section 232 of the impact of these products on national security. Until the investigation is completed, the import of smartphones, laptops and servers will continue without any tax.

Explain that under Section 232 of the Trade Extension Act 1962 in the US, the President is empowered to stop the import of products which are found to be endangered by national security. Currently, due to zero tariff treatment, the status of India’s electronics expoters in the US markets remains strong.

Apart from China, these countries are also relieved

In this episode, China is also standing shoulder to shoulder with India as China has also been kept out of the purview of electronics tariffs. However, India is still ahead of China in this matter because some products of China are already imposed ‘Fantanil Duty’.

However, the US is also charging zero tariffs on electronics products from Taiwan and Vietnam. In June 2025, India emerged as the biggest exporter of smartphones for America. India’s stake in the import of this segment alone was 44 percent. In this case, India also left behind China and Vietnam.
