Govt. Mulls Extension for Electronics Component Scheme Deadline
The government is thinking about giving companies more time to apply for a program called ECMS.
This program wants to help make electronic parts in India instead of buying them from other countries.
Companies can get money to build factories for things like tiny resistors and sensors.
The program started in May, and lots of companies already want to join.
The government hopes this will bring in a lot of money, create many jobs, and make India better at making its own electronics.
The government is considering extending the July 31 deadline for the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS).
The ECMS aims to reduce import dependency and boost domestic electronics manufacturing.
The scheme, launched on May 1, offers financial incentives for establishing manufacturing facilities.
The government received 70 applications within the first two weeks of the application window opening.
The scheme is expected to attract ₹59,350 crore in investments and create 91,600 direct jobs.
