Centre approves Rs 3,000 crore electronics cluster for Chhattisgarh
The Indian government said yes to a big new electronics factory park in Rajnandgaon, a district in the state of Chhattisgarh.
A factory park is a special area where companies can build things like computer chips, electric cars, and smart gadgets.
The government will spend about 432 crore rupees to build the roads, power, water, and buildings there.
Companies are expected to bring in more than 3,000 crore rupees to set up their factories.
This should create around 9,000 jobs for people living nearby.
Four big companies have already said they want to join the park.
The leaders hope this will help India make more electronics at home instead of buying them from other countries.
The Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh thanked the Prime Minister for approving the project.
He said local young people will get training so they can work in these new factories.
The Centre approved an Electronics Manufacturing Cluster under the EMC 2.0 scheme at Patewa in Chhattisgarh's Rajnandgaon district.
The project is projected to attract over Rs 3,000 crore in investment and create nearly 9,000 direct and indirect jobs.
The Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology approved Rs 210.56 crore in central assistance against an estimated project cost of Rs 432.08 crore.
The cluster will span approximately 306.56 acres and include ready-made factories, power, water supply, warehouses and common facilities.
Four anchor firms from the semiconductor, electric-vehicle and smart-electronics sectors have expressed interest, with an initial proposed investment of about Rs 365 crore.
