These approvals are expected to generate 33,791 direct employment opportunities.

The approved units are spread across eight states viz. Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, according to an official statement.

This follows approvals of 24 applications for Rs 12,704 crore announced earlier.

The approvals include manufacturing of 11 target segment products, which have cross-sectoral applications such as mobile manufacturing, telecom, consumer electronics, strategic electronics, automotive and IT hardware products.

The 11 products include 5 bare components such as PCB, capacitors, connectors, enclosures and li-ion cell, 3 sub-assemblies like camera module, display module and optical transceiver, 3 supply chain items like aluminium extrusion, anode material and laminate (copper clad).

Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said that this programme had strengthened India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem, enabling large portions of domestic demand to be met indigenously
In a post on X, Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T R B Rajaa said that the State alone accounted for 23,451 jobs from just three projects. Tata Electronics will bring 1,500 jobs,  Motherson 5,741 jobs and Foxconn  16,210 high-end jobs.

Tamil Nadu’s Foxconn investment (Yuzhan Technology) approved under ECMS has emerged as the single largest approval, he said.

Approval for manufacturing of enclosures for mobile, IT hardware products and related devices are granted to Yuzhan Technology (India) Private Limited, a global manufacturer of electronic components, Motherson Electronic Components Private Limited, a leading Indian manufacturer of electronic components and systems, and Tata Electronics Private Limited, a leading Indian electronics manufacturer and a trusted global brand, the official release said.

Meanwhile, in a separate announcement, the Union government said it had decided to extend the deadline for submission of fresh applications under the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles up to 31 March 2026.

The extension follows the significant response received since the application portal was re-opened in August 2025, with proposals being submitted by textile companies across priority areas, including man-made fibre (MMF) apparel, MMF fabrics and technical textiles.
