Building on its rapid growth in electronics manufacturing and exports, Tamil Nadu has launched India’s first state-level Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme. The initiative, unveiled by Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, aims to attract ₹30,000 crore in investments and create over 60,000 jobs.
The scheme offers matching grants to supplement incentives under the Union government’s recently introduced components program. It targets eligible manufacturers and aims to strengthen the state’s position in the electronics value chain.
With electronics exports surging from \$1.66 billion in FY21 to \$14.6 billion in FY25, Tamil Nadu has become India’s leading electronics export hub, accounting for over 41% of the country’s total. The new scheme is designed to deepen manufacturing capabilities in key segments such as high-density interconnect (HDI) and MSAP boards, display modules, lithium-ion cells, and electronic capital goods.
Industries Minister TRB Rajaa highlighted the strategic significance of the initiative: “This is a bold step that shows Tamil Nadu’s commitment to being a leading partner in India’s electronics growth. We are the first state to match the Centre’s incentives—demonstrating our willingness to invest in ambition.”
The policy complements Tamil Nadu’s broader semiconductor and advanced electronics strategy, aiming to develop a self-sustaining, high-value supply chain and draw top global and domestic players into the state’s electronics ecosystem.
