Syrma SGS Starts Mega PCB Plant in Andhra Pradesh, Creating 1,000+ Jobs: Is Naidupeta Emerging as Next Electronics Hub?
Andhra Pradesh is strengthening its presence in electronics manufacturing in the country with the recent announcement of investments by Syrma SGS Technology at Naidupeta, Tirupati district. The company is currently building a multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) plant of huge capacity to increase domestic production capacity and meet the increasing demand for electronic components. The project will undoubtedly contribute to the industrial developments in the region and production is anticipated to commence in 2027.
Syrma SGS’s Naidupeta PCB manufacturing facility
Syrma SGS Technology has started the construction of its PCB manufacturing plant in Naidupeta Industrial Zone, Tirupati district in Andhra Pradesh. The project is in collaboration with South Korea-based Shinhyup Electronics, and will produce multi-layer and single-layer printed circuit boards. The facility will cater to the growing demand for electronic components across domestic and international markets, strengthening India's PCB manufacturing ecosystem.
Manufacturing capacity and production details
The facility will have a total multi-layer PCB manufacturing capacity of 2.1 million sq. metres per year, making it one of the largest facilities of its kind in India. The project will focus on manufacturing printed circuit boards used in electronic devices and equipment across industries such as automobiles, telecommunications, industrial electronics and consumer electronics.
The plant will initially produce 7.2 lakh sq. metres of multi-layer and 4.8 lakh sq. metres of single-layer PCBs, each year. The company is looking to gradually scale up the production to the full scale of multi-layer PCB scale of 21 lakh sq. metres per year.
Project Timeline and expected operational date
The company began construction of the Naidupeta facility in December 2025, with the company initially targeting October 2026 for completion. Later updates showed that December 2026 was for trial production and April 2027 was for commercial production. As the process goes forward, the facility should be able to increase its manufacturing capacity gradually.
Investment and employment generation
The Naidupeta facility is expected to create more than 1,000 direct jobs, which will create a demand for skilled workers, engineers, technical staff, etc. I The project is also expected to support ancillary industries and service providers to the electronics manufacturing value chain, logistics and component suppliers. The development is expected to boost the electronics manufacturing ecosystem in the region, along with the participation of South Korea's technology partner Shinhyup Electronics.

Importance for India's electronics manufacturing sector
India's PCB market is estimated to have a domestic demand of around ₹40,00-45,000 crore, with nearly 90% of this demand currently met through imports. The market is expected to grow to around ₹70,000 crore by 2030, giving a chance to the domestic manufacturers.
The Naidupeta plant of Syrma SGS is likely to boost the indigenous PCB industry and cut the reliance on imported circuit boards. The project will also contribute to India's backward integration into the electronics manufacturing with applications such as PCBs in automotive electronics, telecommunication, consumer devices and industrial equipment.
Naidupeta emerging as an Electronics manufacturing hub
Naidupeta is attracting investments from multiple electronics manufacturers, strengthening its position as an emerging PCB manufacturing hub in Andhra Pradesh. Other than Syrma SGS, CIPSA-TEC is planning to establish a ₹1,140 crore and 1,251 expected jobs. Epitome Components has announced an investment of ₹700 crore with a job creation of around 1,000 jobs, whereas ZetFab is investing in ₹740 crore and creating around 1,049 jobs.
The combined value of these four projects is approximately ₹4,175 crore with a total of more than 5,400 job opportunities. With the development of the industry, the demand for industrial land, warehouses and logistic facilities is also projected to rise. It could also support residential development, rental housing and commercial spaces as more employees move into the region. Naidupeta's connectivity to Chennai, Tirupati and Krishnapatnam Port further supports its potential as a manufacturing and industrial destination.
Conclusion
The upcoming Syrma's SGS facility, along with other electronics manufacturing companies' investments, is giving Naidupeta a new definition as an important manufacturing centre in Andhra Pradesh. The growth of the electronics industry may also help generate jobs, build infrastructure, and drive industrial and residential real estate markets.
