Raipur, August 6<\/p>\n
Chhattisgarh has achieved a major milestone in the field of electronics and information technology. The state will no longer have to rely on Bengaluru, Pune, or Noida for electronics testing or prototyping. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, has approved the establishment of a Common Facility Centre (CFC) in Naya Raipur.<\/p>\n
With the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and the guidance of Housing and Environment Minister OP Choudhary, this project is set to usher in a new era for the state\u2019s electronics industry, startups, and youth. The project will also offer attractive incentives to investors under Chhattisgarh\u2019s industrial policy.<\/p>\n
The Common Facility Centre will be developed on 3.23 acres of land in Sector-22 of Naya Raipur Atal Nagar. The total cost of the project is \u20b9108.43 crore, of which \u20b975 crore has been sanctioned by MeitY under the EMC 2.0 scheme of the Government of India. The remaining \u20b933.43 crore will be funded by the state government, while the land is being provided by the Naya Raipur Atal Nagar Vikas Pradhikaran (NRANVP).<\/p>\n
This Common Facility Centre will create a shared and conducive environment for boosting the electronics industry, offering cutting-edge facilities such as Printed Circuit Board (PCB) prototyping, 3D printing, EMC testing, and a wood workshop. The centre will provide specialized labs and testing facilities for electronics-based production units including semiconductors, microelectronics, LED lamps, solar charge controllers, electric vehicle (EV) solutions, automation solutions, and SCADA panels.<\/p>\n
The CFC will serve as a crucial resource hub for electronics manufacturers in the region. For example, a small LED light manufacturing unit can use the CFC\u2019s testing lab to check the quality and safety standards of its products. Similarly, a startup designing a solar charge controller will be able to validate its designs using the centre\u2019s prototyping facility before moving to mass production. An electric vehicle (EV) component manufacturer can also test the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of its products to ensure all systems function smoothly. Additionally, the 3D printing facility will help companies create custom jigs or enclosures, while the PCB prototyping service will support the rapid development and testing of circuit boards, thereby accelerating production timelines.<\/p>\n
To encourage investment in the electronics sector, the Chhattisgarh government is already running several attractive schemes. The establishment of this Common Facility Centre, coupled with incentives under the state\u2019s industrial policy, will further accelerate both local and external investments in the sector.<\/p>\n
Managed by the Naya Raipur Atal Nagar Vikas Pradhikaran (NRANVP), this project will promote electronics manufacturing and investment in the state. It is expected to give a strong push to the regional economy and create new employment opportunities for the youth.<\/p>\n
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai described this project as a historic achievement in the direction of a technological revolution. He said that this initiative would make the state self-reliant and technologically advanced. \u201cThis will not only boost innovation and startups but also provide world-class testing and prototyping facilities to industries, positioning Chhattisgarh as a powerhouse in electronics manufacturing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Housing and Environment Minister OP Choudhary stated on this occasion that projects like the Common Facility Centre would strengthen Chhattisgarh\u2019s technological infrastructure. \u201cLocal startups, youth, and entrepreneurs will gain access to cutting-edge resources that were earlier limited to bigger cities. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, this initiative will place Chhattisgarh at the forefront of the digital and electronics sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
