“The approved EMC 2.0 project will be developed by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA),” the Government said.
The EMC 2.0 scheme was notified in April 2020. Under the scheme, various parts of the country have been notified as electronics manufacturing clusters, with EMC projects attracting around ₹30,000 in investments, the government said in a statement. “The project will lead to the creation of world-class infrastructure and generate 15,000 jobs,” IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in a statement.
“The (UP) State Government has a significant role in implementing the project,” the government said in a statement. “Recognizing this, officials have been instructed to work closely with the state to ensure faster execution of the project.”
Funds under EMC 2.0 are to be disbursed up to April 2028.
The GB Nagar “cluster’s location … is well-connected by road, rail, and air,” the IT Ministry said. “It is strategically positioned along the Yamuna Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the upcoming Palwal–Khurja Expressway.”
“The site is also close to key transport hubs like Railway Station & Jewar International Airport. Additionally, the EMC is surrounded by important industrial zones such as the Medical Device Park, MSME & Apparel Park, and the Aviation Hub,” he added.
