- India is pushing for domestic manufacturing, specifically in PCB production in Uttar Pradesh, to reduce reliance on Chinese manufacturing.
- Policy aims to reduce reliance on imported chips in Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh launches policy to boost electronics component manufacturing
What happened
The Uttar Pradesh government notified the UP Electronics Component Manufacturing Policy, 2025, on September 4, 2025. The policy offers financial and administrative support for companies manufacturing specified electronic components within the state. It aims to deepen the electronics supply chain beyond finished product assembly and remains valid until March 31, 2031.
Why it matters
The policy supports domestic manufacturing efforts, complementing the central Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme. It provides incentives, such as state top-ups or capital subsidies, to encourage investment in component production within Uttar Pradesh.
The initiative is part of a broader push by India to reduce reliance on imported chips and shift manufacturing, particularly PCB production, domestically.
