Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi, while chairing a high-level meeting at his official residence, reviewed the proposed “Uttar Pradesh Electronics Component Manufacturing Policy-2025” and issued necessary directions.
The policy has been prepared by the IT and Electronics Department. Uttar Pradesh CM said that the objective of the policy is to establish Uttar Pradesh as a global hub for electronics manufacturing. Highlighting the rapid growth of the electronics sector, the Chief Minister noted that India is now the world’s second-largest mobile manufacturer, with Uttar Pradesh contributing nearly 60 percent of this production. He stressed that the state must capitalize on the immense opportunities available in this sector.
The CM stated that in the last eight years, Uttar Pradesh has made remarkable progress in industrial development. Now is the time for the state to create a strong identity in global electronics manufacturing as well. This policy, he added, will not only strengthen Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” and “Make in India” but also take the state’s economy to new heights.
Discussing policy provisions, the Chief Minister suggested that along with the Centre’s scheme for electronics component manufacturing, the state should also provide a top-up incentive to attract investors. Other proposed benefits include attractive subsidies on capital investment, stamp duty and electricity duty exemptions, interest subsidies, and support in logistics and operations. He emphasized that industries creating employment for the youth of the state should be given special incentives.
CM Yogi further instructed that the implementation of the policy must ensure transparency and timeliness, with all facilities provided to investors through a single-window system. Ease of Doing Business should be given top priority, and employment generation must be directly linked to the skill requirements of industries. Accordingly, skill development programs will be aligned with these needs.
Uttar Pradesh CM stressed that a concrete roadmap should be prepared to establish Uttar Pradesh as a global centre for electronics component manufacturing. This policy, he said, will not only attract foreign investment but also reduce import dependence, promote domestic value addition, and save foreign exchange.
Officials informed the CM that electronics production in India has grown from ₹1.9 lakh crore in 2014–15 to ₹11.3 lakh crore in 2024–25. Mobile production alone has increased from ₹18,000 crore to ₹5.45 lakh crore, while mobile exports rose from ₹1,500 crore to ₹2 lakh crore. In FY 2023–24, Uttar Pradesh exported nearly ₹37,000 crore worth of electronics hardware.
The proposed policy aims to achieve electronics production worth USD 50 billion in the next five years and generate around 1 million (10 lakh) direct and indirect jobs. It will also make a significant contribution towards Uttar Pradesh’s target of becoming a USD 1 trillion economy.
Officials also apprised that the policy will promote R&D, innovation, skill development, and the startup ecosystem. Existing electronics manufacturing clusters in Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Expressway areas will be further strengthened. With the upcoming Jewar International Airport and the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor, the state will achieve a stronger position in the global supply chain.
