The approval comes as the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) cleared 31 new projects
Centum Electronics Limited has received approval from the central government under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) for a proposed investment of ₹106 crore over five years. The company will use the investment to establish domestic manufacturing capabilities for high-value transducers and filters, supporting India’s efforts to reduce dependence on imported electronic components.
The approval comes as the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) cleared 31 new projects under the fifth tranche of the ECMS. With these approvals, cumulative investments under the scheme have reached ₹69,548 crore across 106 projects.
Centum Electronics’ planned investment is expected to strengthen its capabilities in specialised electronic components and support demand from sectors including defence, aerospace and space electronics. The company is also expected to benefit from policy support aimed at expanding domestic production of critical electronic components.
The development comes alongside a strong financial and order-book performance for the company. Centum Electronics reported consolidated net profit of ₹105.50 crore in Q1 FY27, compared with ₹4.51 crore in Q1 FY26. The increase was largely supported by an ₹81.23 crore gain following the deconsolidation of its underperforming French subsidiaries.
Consolidated operating revenue rose 14.42% year-on-year to ₹203.47 crore during the quarter, compared with ₹177.82 crore in the corresponding period last year. The company’s standalone order inflows also increased 70% year-on-year to ₹360 crore in Q1 FY27.
As of June 30, 2026, Centum Electronics had a standalone order book of approximately ₹1,800 crore, up 31% year-on-year, providing visibility for its medium-term growth.
The ECMS approval is expected to support Centum Electronics’ strategy of expanding high-value domestic manufacturing while strengthening its position in India’s electronics supply chain. The company’s ability to execute the planned capacity expansion and convert its order pipeline into revenue will remain key factors for its future growth.
