Empowering Electronics: The Rise of Uttar Pradesh as a Semiconductor Powerhouse

Fostering a Robust Ecosystem for High-Tech Industries

Uttar Pradesh has implemented several policies and schemes aimed at fostering growth in the electronics and technology sectors. These initiatives are designed to attract investment, promote innovation, and establish the state as a hub for electronics manufacturing and information technology services.

Key Policies:

  1. Uttar Pradesh Electronics Manufacturing Policy 2020
    This policy aims to position Uttar Pradesh as a preferred destination for electronics manufacturing. It includes several financial incentives:
    • Interest Subsidy: A 5% annual interest subsidy on loans up to ₹200 crore, with a maximum reimbursement of ₹1 crore per annum for five years.
    • Stamp Duty Exemption: 100% exemption on stamp duty for land purchases/leases for electronics manufacturing units.
    • Patent Filing Reimbursement: Up to ₹5 lakh for domestic patents and ₹10 lakh for international patents.
    • Land Subsidy: 25% subsidy on land costs in certain regions, with higher rates in less developed areas.
    • Electricity Duty Exemption: 50% exemption for ten years on electricity duty for electronics units.

In July 2024, Uttar Pradesh introduced a semiconductor policy aimed at boosting the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. This policy offers:

  • Capital Subsidy: An additional 50% subsidy on capital investments approved by the central government under the India Semiconductor Mission.
  • Interest Subsidy: A 5% annual interest subsidy on investments up to ₹200 crore, covering various semiconductor components like integrated circuits and sensors.

National Electronics Policy Initiatives

The state also aligns with national initiatives such as:

  • Electronics Development Fund (EDF): This fund supports innovation and R&D in electronics by providing risk capital to companies developing new technologies.
  • Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: Designed to encourage domestic manufacturing of electronic components, aiming for significant production targets by 2025.

Implementation and Support Structure : The Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPELC) serves as the nodal agency overseeing these policies. The agency is responsible for facilitating investments, managing incentives, and ensuring effective implementation of the policies through dedicated project management units.

Uttar Pradesh's comprehensive approach to developing its electronics and technology sectors through targeted policies and financial incentives is poised to attract significant investment and create numerous employment opportunities. By fostering an environment conducive to innovation and manufacturing, the state aims to establish itself as a leader in the electronics industry.
