Madhya Pradesh is gearing up to make a significant mark in India’s growing electronics and semiconductor ecosystem. The state government has announced the creation of an Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) in Bhopal with a total investment of ₹371 crore, a project designed to accelerate research and development in advanced technology.
The initiative, which recently received in-principle approval from the Government of India, will be funded jointly by the Centre and the state. Out of the total cost, ₹225 crore will be contributed by Madhya Pradesh, while the Central government will provide ₹146 crore.
Urban Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya highlighted that the EMC will serve as a transformative platform for science, technology, and innovation in the state. Equipped with high-tech infrastructure—such as testing and calibration labs, tool rooms, CAD/CAM design facilities, and EMI/EMC centres—the cluster will allow engineering graduates, researchers, and startups to work on real-world product development and testing.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav emphasized that the cluster would play a vital role in bridging the gap between academia and industry. “Our state has no shortage of engineering talent, but students often lack the infrastructure and mentorship to channel their skills into innovation. This cluster will give them a dedicated ecosystem to create, experiment, and contribute to the global electronics and semiconductor sector,” he said.
The announcement builds on commitments made at the Global Investors Summit 2025, where the Chief Minister outlined the Madhya Pradesh Semiconductor Policy-2025. The policy aims to attract ₹2,700 crore in investments over the next five years and create more than 14,000 jobs in the electronics and semiconductor domain. Key incentives include capital subsidies, concessional land, and power tariff benefits to encourage companies to set up operations in the state.
With this project, Madhya Pradesh is positioning itself as a rising hub for electronics innovation, contributing not just to state-level growth but also to India’s larger ambition of becoming a global leader in semiconductors and advanced manufacturing.
