Silicon Surge: Gujarat’s Rs 35,000-Cr Electronics Policy Powers Up India’s Tech Backbone

Gujarat has launched the Electronics Component Manufacturing Policy2025 (GECMS2025), with the aim of attracting investments of Rs 35,000 crore and making the state a world electronics manufacturing hub. The policy is extremely similar to the Centre's Electronics Components and Semiconductors (ECMS) scheme, offering twin incentives to investors.

 

Key highlights of the policy:

Strategic intent:

Through reducing the dependence on imports and promoting highskilled jobs, GECMS2025 aims to futureproof the industrial base of Gujarat. It further refrains from duplicating incentives under the scheme with the current Gujarat Electronics Policy 2022–28 in order to provide fiscal transparency and policy efficacy.
