The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on Friday approved 22 new proposals under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa, in a post on X, said: “Across 22 projects approved in this [third] tranche, a total of 34,061 job opportunities have been created. Of these, Tamil Nadu alone accounts for 23,451 jobs from just three projects – TATA Electronics brings 1,500, Motherson adds 5,741, Foxconn contributes 16,210 high-end jobs.” He said that Foxconn’s investment (Yuzhan Technology) in Tamil Nadu, approved under ECMS, has emerged as the single largest approval. Unlike the first two tranches where State-wise and project-wise investment numbers were made public, this time only state wise job numbers and product-wise investment numbers have been released. He added that as per data, enclosures investments was at ₹27,166 crore, and all three enclosures investments were from Tamil Nadu. “So, of the ₹41,863 crore worth of investments approved in the third tranche, a massive ₹27,166 crore via Motherson, Foxconn, and Tata Electronics, is from Tamil Nadu alone,” he said.
