Tamil Nadu tops sixth tranche of ECMS approvals with four projects worth ₹607 crore

Tamil Nadu has reinforced its position as a leading destination for electronics manufacturing in India by securing four of the 12 approvals announced under the sixth tranche of the Union Government’s Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The state accounted for the highest number of approvals among all states in this tranche, with three companies proposing a combined investment of ₹607 crore.

The approvals cover projects by NeST ICELR Private Limited, TDConnex (Chennai) Private Limited and Rockwell Automation India Private Limited. The projects span multiple segments of the electronics manufacturing ecosystem, including printed circuit boards, electronic relays, precision moulds, tooling and industrial power and control systems.

NeST ICELR Private Limited has received one approval for manufacturing multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), which are essential components in a wide range of electronic devices and equipment.

TDConnex (Chennai) Private Limited has secured two approvals covering the manufacture of electronic relays, precision moulds and tooling. The projects are expected to contribute to the domestic availability of specialised electronic components and manufacturing inputs.

Rockwell Automation India Private Limited has received one approval for manufacturing power and control systems used in capital equipment, adding to the range of industrial electronics manufacturing capabilities proposed in the state.

The four approvals represent a significant addition to Tamil Nadu's electronics manufacturing ambitions. The proposed investments are expected to strengthen the state's industrial ecosystem, encourage the development of component manufacturing capabilities and create opportunities across the electronics supply chain.

The Tamil Nadu government, through its investment promotion agency Guidance Tamil Nadu, highlighted the achievement as further evidence of the state's growing attractiveness to electronics manufacturers.

With four approvals in a single tranche and proposed investments of ₹607 crore, Tamil Nadu is seeking to consolidate its position not merely as an electronics assembly destination but also as a hub for manufacturing critical components, precision tooling and industrial electronic systems.
