Govt Approves Establishment of 2 New Electronics Manufacturing Clusters in Tamil Nadu, India to Boost Electronic Manufacturing Ecosystem. A further boost to the indigenous electronics manufacturing ecosystem has been given today. Government of India approves the setting up of two new Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs) in Tamil Nadu. A total outlay of Rs 1012 crore will be put into developing these EMCs, which will be constructed at Manallur and Pillapaikkam, creating a push towards industrial infrastructure development and attracting electronics manufacturers.
Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the approval through a written reply in the Lok Sabha on July 22, 2026. Under the two projects, the two industrial locations to be created will be spread over 850 acres, and will house units operating in diverse segments of the value chain of electronics companies.
Tamil Nadu State Electronics Manufacturing centres are one of the major centres in India in terms of electronics investment. With such investments, the state emerged as top hub in terms of investment and production in electronics manufacturing especially mobile phone manufacturing, assembly and automotive electronics manufacturing, and their supporting industrial sector. Manallur and Pillapaikkam EMC’s, after approval by GOI, might consolidate the existing manufacturing base while enabling the set up and expansion of new companies by Indian as well as foreign companies.
The approval of the Manallur and Pillapaikkam Electronics Manufacturing Clusters represents another important development in India’s effort to strengthen domestic electronics production. With a combined project cost of approximately ₹1,012 crore and a total area of more than 850 acres, the two clusters will add new manufacturing infrastructure to Tamil Nadu’s already significant electronics ecosystem.
