Tirupati Electronics And Home Appliances Sector Set For Rs 1140 Crore Boost
Tirupati is poised for a major industrial leap as the electronics and home appliances sector attracts a ₹1,140 crore investment. The project, approved at the state level, aims to establish a high-tech manufacturing facility producing advanced printed circuit boards and related components for automobiles, consumer electronics, and rail transport. Spanning 30 acres in the Naidupeta Special Economic Zone, the initiative is expected to generate significant employment while positioning Tirupati as a key hub for electronics manufacturing in southern India.
Cipsa Tec India Pvt Ltd will lead the development, establishing a state-of-the-art plant in two phases, with the first phase scheduled for February 2026 and the second by January 2028. The government has sanctioned incentives worth ₹721.75 crore under the state electronics policy to support this strategic investment. Officials highlight that such targeted incentives are designed to transform Naidupeta into a centre of excellence for PCB production, meeting growing domestic and international demand.The facility will focus on producing high-speed Radio Frequency Printed Circuit Boards (RF PCBs), flexible PCBs, and multi-layer PCBs, critical for the automotive industry, consumer electronics, and India’s rail modernisation projects, including the Vande Bharat trains. Analysts note that this move aligns with broader efforts to boost India’s manufacturing self-reliance, while creating a technologically skilled workforce in Tirupati.
Beyond production, the project is expected to foster an ecosystem for suppliers, service providers, and logistics partners, creating indirect employment opportunities and encouraging ancillary industries. Industry experts suggest that such cluster-based industrialisation can accelerate regional economic growth while supporting sustainable urban development, provided environmental management and energy efficiency measures are integrated from the start.Government officials emphasise that the Naidupeta SEZ model demonstrates a blend of policy incentives, land allocation, and industrial expertise to attract large-scale investments. By nurturing electronics and home appliances manufacturing, Tirupati could emerge as a strategic industrial node in southern India, contributing to both economic output and export potential.
Observers believe that integrating green manufacturing practices, promoting inclusive workforce participation, and ensuring smart urban planning around industrial zones will be crucial for balancing rapid industrialisation with environmental and social responsibility. With proper execution, Tirupati’s electronics sector could become a benchmark for sustainable industrial growth in mid-sized Indian cities.
