All approved projects under ECMS to generate direct employment for 75,000 individuals: Ashwini Vaishnaw

NEW DELHI: The 106 projects approved under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) will lead to the direct employment of nearly 75,000 individuals, with the potential to create 2.5 lakh jobs across all factories once they commence mass production, said a top official of the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) on Monday.

“In 106 projects, there will be around 75,000 (individuals) directly employed. This means that around 2.5 lakh total employment will be from these plants. This is an interesting outcome of the scheme,” said Union Minister of Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw.
