UP A Manufacturing Powerhouse: Union Ministers Hail Yogi Adityanath At Jewar Electronics Project Launch

Last Updated:June 29, 2026, 11:22 IST

Union ministers said new electronics projects in Jewar will cut PCB imports, create around 3,000 jobs and strengthen Uttar Pradesh's position as a manufacturing hub.

Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Bhupender Yadav have lauded the Uttar Pradesh government’s push for industrialisation and electronics manufacturing, saying the state is emerging as a major hub for semiconductors and advanced electronics under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership.

Speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony of two electronics manufacturing projects in Yamuna City, Jewar, Union Minister for Railways, Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw said Uttar Pradesh had created the ecosystem needed to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of expanding electronics manufacturing in India.

According to a release by the Uttar Pradesh government, Vaishnaw said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had provided the vision that brought electronics manufacturing to Jewar and thanked him for helping establish the region as a major manufacturing destination.

Referring to India’s growing domestic manufacturing capabilities, the Union minister said the country was moving beyond assembling electronic products to manufacturing its core components.

As per PTI, he said advanced multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), including those with 20 to 22 layers, form the backbone of modern technology and would now increasingly be manufactured in India instead of being imported.

Vaishnaw said India had been importing PCBs worth nearly Rs 40,000 crore annually, but domestic production would substantially reduce import dependence.

According to the government release, products worth Rs 40,000 crore that were earlier imported would now be manufactured in Jewar, which is also expected to become a major electronics manufacturing hub alongside its growing semiconductor ecosystem.

The Union minister said investments worth thousands of crores flowing into the Yamuna City region would help transform Jewar into one of India’s leading electronics and semiconductor manufacturing centres.

According to PTI, the two projects involve a combined investment of around Rs 6,750 crore and are expected to generate nearly 3,000 jobs.

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 PCBs, and a Rs 3,500-crore facility by Amber Enterprises for manufacturing HVAC components and PCB assemblies, PTI reported.

Highlighting infrastructure development, Vaishnaw referred to the proposed Delhi-Lucknow-Varanasi bullet train corridor, saying the project would significantly improve connectivity across Uttar Pradesh.

According to the government release, the train, approved by Prime Minister Modi in the last Budget, will run from Delhi to Siliguri via Lucknow, Varanasi and Patna.

He said the travel time between Delhi and Lucknow would be reduced to around 2 hours and 10 minutes, while the journey from Jewar to Lucknow would take about 1 hour and 40 minutes, adding that improved connectivity would further accelerate industrial growth in the state.

He also noted that the operational Noida International Airport, the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and the proposed bullet train network were making Jewar an increasingly attractive destination for global investors, PTI reported.

Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav said the foundation stone ceremony reflected Uttar Pradesh’s transformation into a leading industrial state.

According to the government release, he said the event demonstrated that the resolve to make Uttar Pradesh an “Uttam Pradesh" was becoming a reality.

Yadav said that under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, India had emerged as a reliable manufacturing partner for the world, while Uttar Pradesh had become a key destination for investments due to political stability, transparent policies, skilled manpower and strong infrastructure.

He expressed confidence that the state would make one of the largest contributions towards the vision of a developed India.

Representatives from the industry also praised the state’s investment climate. Amber Enterprises Executive Chairman and CEO Jasbir Singh described the ceremony as a milestone in laying the foundation for India’s next generation of electronics manufacturing.

According to the government release, he thanked the Uttar Pradesh government and the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) for their support and recalled receiving a land allotment letter from the Chief Minister’s Office on a Sunday evening, calling it an example of the state’s commitment to facilitating investments.

Korea Circuits CEO Yang Ho Cho thanked both the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments for their support and said the partnership between Korea Circuits and Amber Enterprises would combine South Korea’s advanced technology with India’s manufacturing capabilities.

According to the government release, the upcoming facility will manufacture advanced HDI PCBs for use in mobile phones, IT products and memory modules.

He also invited Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Union Ministers to visit South Korea to inspect the company’s manufacturing facilities.
