The Central government on Wednesday approved the setting up of a Rs 417 crore Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC 2.0) in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddha Nagar, aiming to boost local manufacturing and innovation.
The project was reviewed by the Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State Jitin Prasada today. Officials have been told to work closely with the state for the faster execution of the project.
The approved EMC 2.0 project will be developed by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA). The cluster will be spread over 200 acres and expected to attract Rs 2,500 crore in investment.
Speaking on the occasion, Vaishnaw said, “The project will lead to the creation of world-class infrastructure and generate 15,000 jobs. It is fully in line with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of promoting manufacturing in India. It reflects the government’s sharp focus on job creation and building a Viksit Bharat.”
The cluster will support manufacturing across key areas like consumer electronics, automotive and industrial electronics, medical devices, computer hardware, and communication equipment. Further, startups and MSMEs will be able to get plug-and-play infrastructure and shared facilities.
This includes standard factory sheds, electricity, water provisioning, sewage treatment, hostels, skill development centres, and health centres.
The cluster will be well-connected by road, rail, and air. It is positioned along the Yamuna Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the upcoming Palwal–Khurja Expressway. The site is also close to key transport hubs like railway station & Jewar International Airport.
Additionally, the EMC is surrounded by important industrial zones such as the Medical Device Park, MSME & Apparel Park, and the Aviation Hub.
As of now, around Rs 30,000 crore has been invested in the projects under the scheme. EMC has attracted 520 companies, leading to the generation of over 86,000 jobs.
