Chandigarh: Haryana has finalised draft policies for electronics manufacturing and e-waste recycling, aiming to attract Rs 10,000 crore in investments, create about 75,000 jobs over the next five years and position the state as a hub for electronics manufacturing and circular economy initiatives.
The draft Haryana Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) Policy and Haryana Electronic Waste Recycling Policy, 2025, are awaiting approval from the chief minister's office before being notified.
ESDM Policy Highlights
The ESDM policy seeks to move Haryana beyond assembly and packaging operations by promoting electronics design, component manufacturing and innovation across the value chain. It covers sectors including mobile devices, consumer electronics, information technology and communication equipment, automotive electronics, industrial electronics and power electronics.
The policy proposes electronics manufacturing clusters and parks spread over 10-25 acres, equipped with roads, utilities, storage and technology infrastructure, along with housing, healthcare, banking and skill development facilities. It also aims to increase Haryana's share in national electronics exports to 5% from the present 2.5%.
E-Waste Recycling Policy
The e-waste policy seeks to create a scientific and technology-driven framework for managing electronic waste and establish Haryana as a hub for environmentally responsible recycling. It proposes reimbursement of 30% of eligible capital expenditure, subject to a ceiling of Rs 25 crore per unit, for setting up recycling infrastructure.
The incentives will cover expenditure on buildings, utilities, plant and machinery, recycling equipment, power backup systems and IT hardware. Both new units and existing units undertaking expansion or diversification projects will be eligible.
Officials said the five-year policy aims to strengthen authorised recycling channels and maximise material recovery and reuse, with the goal of achieving near-complete recycling of e-waste generated in the state by 2030, subject to technological feasibility and national regulations.
