Kaynes Circuits to set up Rs 4,995-crore electronic components unit in Tamil Nadu; state eyes electronics manufacturing leap
AI-generated image Kaynes Circuits India is reportedly planning to establish a state-of-the-art electronic component manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu , with an investment of Rs 4,995 crore, according to sources familiar with the development. The upcoming facility will manufacture a range of advanced components, including 74-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs, flexible PCBs, high-performance laminates, camera module assemblies, and wire harness assemblies. Tamil Nadu's first major PCB manufacturing investment This move marks Tamil Nadu's first significant investment in PCB manufacturing. The state, which already houses major electronics hubs in Sriperumbudur and Hosur, now aims to develop Thoothukudi as a new electronics manufacturing cluster in the southern region. 'This is big for Tamil Nadu and gives a major push to its electronics ambitions,' a source quoted by The Economic Times said. 'Much like VinFast's entry into Thoothukudi for EVs, Kaynes' new facility will be an anchor investment, laying the foundation for a full-fledged electronics ecosystem in the deep South.' The plant is expected to generate around 4,700 jobs across Thoothukudi and its neighbouring districts. It also signifies a shift in India's electronics strategy—moving beyond basic assembly to high-end component manufacturing.

As reported earlier by ET, the Rs 22,919-crore programme has attracted strong applications for the production of multilayer PCBs, lithium-ion cells, and various passive and sub-assembled components. 'This is the first time the PCB industry is seeing real momentum. The scheme supports multilayer and HDI boards, which are key to next-gen electronics,' said KS Babu, secretary of the Indian Printed Circuit Association (IPCA).
