Centre Approves Financial Aid for Chhattisgarh Semiconductor and Electronics Hubs

The Union government has sanctioned financial assistance to support the development of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure at Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh’s new capital city, as part of its efforts to strengthen domestic manufacturing ecosystems, as per the news reports. 

Funding Approval and Process 

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has approved the release of ₹22.5 crore for a Common Facility Centre being set up under the Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) Scheme.  

The amount represents 30% of the total central financial assistance approved for the project, in line with the phased funding structure of the scheme. 

The proposal was initially examined by the Project Management Agency, Software Technology Parks of India. Following this evaluation, the Project Review Committee recommended the release of the 1st instalment.  

Based on this recommendation, the ministry sanctioned the funds after obtaining approval from the President of India, allowing the project to move into the implementation stage. 

Project Execution and Infrastructure Support 

The Common Facility Centre is being developed in Sector-22 of Nava Raipur and is being implemented by the Nava Raipur Atal Nagar Vikas Pradhikaran.  

Once operational, the facility is expected to provide shared infrastructure such as advanced machinery, testing and validation facilities, and technical support services for electronics and semiconductor units. 

The shared-infrastructure model would particularly benefit small and medium enterprises by enabling access to high-end facilities at lower costs, reducing entry barriers and improving operational efficiency. 

Regional Impact and Outlook 

The project is expected to attract electronics and semiconductor investments to Chhattisgarh and generate employment opportunities for local youth.  

Government officials believe the initiative will strengthen Nava Raipur’s position as an emerging hub for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing aligned with national policy priorities.
