Govt. To Extend Electronics Manufacturing Scheme Deadline
The Indian government is likely giving companies more time to apply for a program that helps them build electronics parts.
This program, called ECMS, gives money to companies that make things like display screens and batteries.
The government is extending the deadline because many companies want to participate.
The goal is to bring in lots of investment and create jobs in the electronics industry.
States like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh are also starting their own programs to encourage electronics manufacturing.
The government is likely to extend the application deadline for the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS).
