From smartphones and consumer electronics to electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, and industrial equipment, connectors play an essential role in ensuring seamless integration of complex electronic architectures across the value chain.

This investment will further strengthen Tamil Nadu’s growing electronics and advanced manufacturing ecosystem, while supporting the localisation of critical components for global OEMs and electronics manufacturing services companies operating in the state, the release added.
