The Government of India has approved a Rs 417 crore Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC 2.0) at Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh.
The cluster will be developed by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) over 200 acres. It is expected to attract investments of around Rs 2,500 crore and create 15,000 jobs.
The cluster will support manufacturing in consumer electronics, automotive and industrial electronics, medical devices, computer hardware, and communication equipment. Startups and MSMEs will benefit from plug-and-play infrastructure, shared services, factory sheds, power, water, sewage treatment, hostels, skill development and health centres.
Located along the Yamuna Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the upcoming Palwal–Khurja Expressway, the site is well-connected by road, rail, and air. It is near Jewar International Airport and key industrial zones including the Medical Device Park, MSME & Apparel Park, and the Aviation Hub.
Under the EMC scheme, projects worth around Rs 30,000 crore have been approved, drawing 520 companies and generating over 86,000 jobs. The new cluster in Uttar Pradesh strengthens India’s plan to become a global electronics manufacturing hub.
