Make in Jharkhand proudly introduces the Jharkhand Electronics Policy 2024, a forward-thinking initiative designed to establish a self-sustaining electronics value chain, reducing India’s dependence on imports, particularly from China. As the nation advances toward self-reliance in the Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector, Jharkhand is poised to lead by fostering indigenous innovation, component manufacturing, and strengthening global export capabilities.
This policy focuses on developing a robust domestic supply chain for critical electronic components such as semiconductors, PCBs, displays, batteries, and telecom equipment. It also emphasizes nurturing startups and creating R&D hubs to drive cutting-edge innovations, ensuring Jharkhand becomes a key player in the global digital economy while positioning India as a leader in electronics manufacturing.
By 2030, Make in Jharkhand aims to establish a thriving, self-reliant electronics ecosystem that spans the entire value chain, reducing India’s dependency on imports and positioning Jharkhand as a global leader in electronics manufacturing and exports. This visionary roadmap includes:
The mission of Make in Jharkhand is to establish a robust electronics manufacturing ecosystem that fosters innovation, enhances local production, and achieves self-reliance in critical electronic components. The Jharkhand Electronics Policy 2024 focuses on:
The Jharkhand Electronics Policy 2024 presents a strategic vision to establish a self-sustaining electronics value chain, positioning India as a global leader in electronics manufacturing. Key initiatives include:
Jharkhand aims to establish a robust domestic supply chain for electronics manufacturing, encompassing essential components like semiconductors, PCBs, displays, batteries, and telecom equipment. By building these capabilities, the state seeks to minimize reliance on imports from China and other nations, ensuring India has a secure, self-reliant, and reliable supply of critical electronic components.
Jharkhand will establish over 20 ESDM (Electronic System Design and Manufacturing) clusters to bolster the electronics value chain, offering state-of-the-art infrastructure for component manufacturing, assembly, testing, and certification. Strategically located in cities such as Varanasi, Ranchi, Nagpur, and Aurangabad, these clusters will feature specialized facilities for semiconductor fabrication, PCB assembly, display production, and battery manufacturing.
Jharkhand will drive innovation in emerging technologies by offering R&D grants and incentives to companies specializing in 5G infrastructure, IoT devices, AI-powered electronics, and smart city solutions. Additionally, the state will nurture start-ups developing breakthrough electronics innovations, positioning Jharkhand as a global hub for advanced electronics and technological excellence.
The policy will encourage sustainable manufacturing practices throughout the electronics sector by promoting energy-efficient production, electronic waste recycling, and the use of renewable energy. Jharkhand will provide incentives to companies that adopt eco-friendly production methods and integrate circular economy principles into their operations.
Jharkhand will proactively draw global electronics manufacturers to invest in component production by offering capital subsidies, tax incentives, and venture capital funding. The state will also streamline regulatory approvals through a Single Window Clearance System, positioning Jharkhand as a leading destination for investments across the entire electronics value chain.
The Jharkhand Electronics Policy 2024 provides a range of incentives to promote investments in electronics component manufacturing and innovation:
Incentive Type | Details |
Lease Rental Subsidy | 60-80% subsidy on lease rentals for ESDM units (with up to 40 employees) in government-owned facilities or designated ESDM parks. |
Interest Subsidy | 5% interest subsidy on term loans from public financial institutions, capped at INR 10 crores per annum for 5 years. |
Capital Investment Subsidy | Up to ₹250 crores in capital subsidy based on fixed capital investment, with additional 10% subsidy for women, SC/ST, and disabled entrepreneurs. |
SGST Reimbursement | 100% SGST reimbursement for 5-7 years, based on the size of the investment. |
Energy Efficiency Incentives | 75% reimbursement of energy audit costs (capped at INR 2 lakhs), plus 100% exemption from electricity duty for 5 years. |
Production Linked Incentive (PLI) | 1% PLI on annual turnover for 5 years for the first 10 eligible units with new investments above INR 300 crores. |
Incentives for ESDM Parks | Land at concessional rates, 100% stamp duty exemption, and 25% subsidy for infrastructure development in ESDM parks. |
Marketing Support | 50% reimbursement for participation in domestic and international exhibitions, capped at ₹3 lakhs per domestic event and ₹6 lakhs per international event. |
Incentives for Semiconductor and Component Manufacturing | 25% Capex contribution on semiconductor and component manufacturing plants, up to ₹500 crores for facilities established within the next five years. |
Jharkhand will facilitate a seamless business environment for electronics manufacturers and component producers by implementing a Single Window Clearance System. The state will introduce a fast-track approval process for semiconductor, PCB, display, and battery projects, ensuring timely regulatory clearances. Additionally, Jharkhand will offer self-certification under labor laws to simplify compliance and accelerate project timelines.
The Jharkhand Electronics Policy 2024 is a strategic initiative aimed at establishing a comprehensive electronics value chain in India. By attracting investments in component manufacturing, fostering innovation, and developing a skilled workforce, Jharkhand is poised to lead India’s path to electronics self-reliance, reduce reliance on foreign imports, and enhance global competitiveness.
