Synopsis: 3 new Indian states are recently added to upcoming semiconductor manufacturing projects. This expansion aims to boost domestic chip production and strengthen the country’s tech supply chain.
A major Semiconductor investment in India which includes the project details, investment, location, and its significance. The electronics manufacturing map of India, as of December 2025, is further stretching to the new areas mainly because of the government of India’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) and the state policies that came with it.
1. Jammu & Kashmir: Meena Electrotech
One of the biggest projects of manufacturing electronics components in the Union Territory from the very beginning has come under the ECMS. Meena Electrotech Private Limited is an Indian private entity that has been selected under the government’s EMCS(Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme).
- Project: A Unit for the Production of Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards (PCB).
- Location: Bari Brahmana/Samba Industrial Belt, Jammu (SIDCO Complex).
- Investment: ₹111 Crore
- Project Status: Approved in late 2025
- Significance: The unit will produce 340 jobs and make use of the rail connectivity to the NCR. Multilayer PCBs are obligatory for devices with high performance and less footprint like medical equipment and smartphones.
2. Goa: Sierra Circuits (India)
Sierra Circuits is a subsidiary of VS based Sierra Circuits, headquartered in California, the parent company is a premier manufacturer specializing in “quick-turn” complex PCBs and is a critical supplier to the aerospace, medical, and automotive sectors.
- Project: Facility for Newest Multilayer PCB Production Line.
- Location: Verna Industrial Estate, Goa- which takes less than 30 mins from Dabolim Airport.
- Investment: ₹160 Crore
- Project Status: Approved in late 2025
- Significance: The expected output value of this facility is going to be ₹2,030 Crore. It is going to supply the high-value, “quick-turn” PCB market (prototypes and complex boards), a niche mainly filled by its US-parent company, Sierra Circuits (Sunnyvale, CA).
3. Madhya Pradesh: SRF Ltd
SRF Ltd is a major Indian multi business chemicals conglomerate headquartered in Gurugram. It is a market leader in technical textiles, fluorochemicals, and packaging films, with a strong global presence including facilities in Thailand, South Africa, and Hungary.
- Project: Manufacturing Plant for Capacitor Grade Polypropylene Film.
- Location: Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
- Investment: ₹496 Crore approximately
- Significance: This plant will be producing Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film which is a dielectric material for capacitors.
- Why it matters: Capacitor consumption is in billions for semiconductor circuits (EVs, 5G, consumer electronics) hence this plant can be considered as a strategic upstream addition to India’s semiconductor ecosystem cutting down import reliance for this key raw material.
4. SCL Mohali Modernization (Punjab)
- Date: November 28, 2025
- Event: A huge enhancement of the Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL) in Mohali was declared by the Union Government.
- Investment: ₹4,500 Crore in the coming three years.
Goal: To upgrade the plant into a high-volume tape-out and prototyping hub for Indian startups and to help the indigenous “Swadeshi” chip production for the strategic fields such as defense and space, thus, supporting the Indian market. Union minister Ashwini Vishnaw made an announcement that SCL Mohali would not be privatised. The chips have been created with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, which were made available to students under the Chips to Start-up (C2S) program. This has resulted in the production of a total of 56 chips that were designed by students during the course of this program at SCL.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that India will become a global semiconductor hub in the future, driven by significant investments and strong support from both the private and public sectors. The Government gives a lot of schemes like SEMICON India . In late 2025, we witnessed investments exceeding ₹5,000 crore, and by late 2026, even greater investments in the semiconductor industry are expected.
