rate planning, infrastructure development, and industry partnerships for the proposed cluster. The consultant is expected to bring in domain expertise, streamline project execution, and attract anchor units and ancillary players to the region.
By aligning with the Centre's EMC 2.0 scheme, YEIDA aims to create a robust electronics manufacturing ecosystem that fosters innovation, investment, and employment. The cluster is likely to host companies involved in semiconductor design, printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, component assembly, and electronic hardware production.
What is EMC 2.0?
The Electronics Manufacturing Clusters 2.0 (EMC 2.0) Scheme, launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), is designed to provide financial assistance for setting up world-class infrastructure to support electronics manufacturing. It focuses on developing plug-and-play facilities, common facility centers, logistics, testing labs, and R&D infrastructure to attract domestic and global players.
Under EMC 2.0, the Centre aims to make India a global hub for electronics production by enhancing supply chain efficiency, reducing production costs, and boosting export potential.
Strategic Location and Industrial Push
The proposed electronics cluster is set to come up in the YEIDA region along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and near the upcoming Noida International Airport. Its strategic location offers manufacturers direct connectivity to logistics corridors, export hubs, and talent-rich regions.
With the allocation of ₹144 crore from the Central Government, the project has received a major financial push. YEIDA’s upcoming consultant engagement will help in identifying technology partners, preparing detailed project reports, and ensuring compliance with global best practices.
Impact on Manufacturing & Economic Growth
The electronics cluster is expected to significantly contribute to Uttar Pradesh’s ambition of becoming a trillion-dollar economy. It will boost local manufacturing capacities, create thousands of jobs, and reduce import dependence for critical electronic components.
For India’s broader manufacturing vision, such clusters act as critical nodes in strengthening self-reliance and global competitiveness, especially in sectors like semiconductors, mobile devices, and IoT hardware.
YEIDA’s proactive approach to appoint a consultant for the Electronics Manufacturing Cluster underlines its commitment to operational excellence and future-ready infrastructure. As India continues to position itself as a manufacturing powerhouse, such initiatives reflect the nation’s focused momentum towards digital growth, industrial resilience, and strategic self-sufficiency.
