ମେନ୍ସ
GS3 (Industry, manufacturing). India's electronics sector relies heavily on imported components, so ECMS offers turnover-linked incentives to build domestic component capacity and deepen value addition. Implications are lower import dependence and better integration into global supply chains. The way forward is faster approvals, a skilled workforce, supporting infrastructure and R&D, and a stable policy framework.
