<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTwo electronics manufacturing projects involving a combined investment of about Rs 6,750 crore are expected to generate around 3,000 jobs and help transform Jewar into one of India’s leading electronics and semiconductor manufacturing hubs, Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday.Vaishnaw made the remarks after jointly laying the foundation stones for the projects with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath<\/a> in Yamuna City, Jewar.The projects include a Rs 3,250-crore investment by ASCENT-K Circuit, a joint venture with South Korea’s KCC, to manufacture advanced high-density and multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), and a Rs 3,500-crore facility by Amber Enterprises for manufacturing HVAC components and PCB assemblies.Highlighting India’s growing domestic electronics manufacturing capabilities, Vaishnaw said the country was moving beyond assembling electronic products to manufacturing their core components.“We are moving from assembly to deep manufacturing. The advanced multi-layer PCBs being built here, some with 20 to 22 layers, are the backbone of modern technology. What we once imported, we will now ‘Make in India’ for the world,” he said.The minister said India had been importing PCBs worth nearly Rs 40,000 crore every year and domestic production would significantly reduce import dependence.“Every PCB manufactured here will save foreign exchange, strengthen the rupee and improve India’s balance of payments,” he said.<\/p>\n Vaishnaw said investments worth thousands of crores flowing into the Yamuna City region would help make Jewar the “Silicon Valley of North India”.“Jewar is poised to emerge as one of India’s leading hubs for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. It will save billions in foreign exchange for the country and redefine India’s economic landscape,” he said.He credited Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for creating an ecosystem that had enabled Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of expanding electronics manufacturing in Uttar Pradesh.“I would like to thank Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for providing the vision that has brought the Prime Minister’s electronics manufacturing initiative to Jewar,” he said.Vaishnaw also highlighted the region’s rapidly expanding infrastructure, saying the operational Noida International Airport, connectivity through the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and the proposed Delhi-Lucknow-Varanasi bullet train project were making Jewar an increasingly attractive destination for global investors.<\/div>\nJewar ‘poised to emerge’ as electronics hub
