The Centre has approved an Electronics Manufacturing Cluster under the EMC 2.0 scheme in Chhattisgarh’s Rajnandgaon district. This will pave the way for more than Rs 3,000 crore in investment and nearly 9,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities. The project is expected to strengthen Chhattisgarh’s position as an emerging destination for semiconductor, electric-vehicle and smart-electronics manufacturing. The Centre has approved Rs 210.56 crore in central financial assistance for the cluster, whose estimated project cost is Rs 432.08 crore.
The facility will be developed by the Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation over approximately 306 acres at Patewa in Rajnandgaon district.
EMC 2.0 is a MeitY scheme designed to create world-class infrastructure and shared facilities for electronics manufacturing clusters across India. It provides financial assistance for ready-built factories, plug-and-play facilities, utilities and Common Facility Centres to attract investment, strengthen supply chains and make India a global electronics manufacturing hub.
The proposed cluster is designed to provide the common infrastructure required by electronics manufacturers before they begin production. It will include - ready-made factory spaces, reliable power, water supply, warehouses and modern industrial facilities.
It will allow multiple companies to commence operations with minimal lead time in Rajnandgaon district. According to project details, the cluster will cover approximately 306.56 acres, including around 150.56 acres earmarked for industrial plots. The combination of public infrastructure and private investment is expected to create a broader manufacturing ecosystem, supporting component production, assembly, logistics and value addition.
