Mumbai, 21 August 2026: Brandworks Technologies Pvt. Ltd., India's fastest-growing design-driven and R&D-led electronics manufacturing company, has received approval under the Government of India's Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) for the manufacturing of speakers and microphones, marking a significant step in the company's efforts to strengthen domestic electronics component manufacturing and contribute to India's growing electronics manufacturing ecosystem.

Brandworks' approval for speakers and microphones places it among the companies being supported under ECMS to build domestic capabilities across critical electronics components. The category forms an important part of the wider electronics value chain, with applications spanning consumer electronics, automotive systems, smart devices, communication equipment and other connected products. The company also holds an exclusive license for Dolby Atmos soundbars in India, further strengthening its capabilities and expertise in the audio technology segment.

Commenting on the development, Ishwar Kumhar, Co-founder and CEO, Brandworks Technologies, said, "The ECMS approval for speakers and microphones marks an important milestone in Brandworks' journey of contributing to India's electronics manufacturing ecosystem. Our ongoing engagement with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has been an important part of this journey, and this approval further strengthens our commitment to supporting the Government of India's vision for a deeper and more self-reliant electronics value chain. We aim to continue working closely with the government and industry stakeholders to accelerate domestic component manufacturing, build advanced capabilities in India and create a stronger, globally competitive electronics ecosystem."

Nikita Kumawat, Co-founder and Director, Brandworks Technologies, said, "The approval under ECMS is a strong validation of the capabilities we have been building across electronics design, engineering and manufacturing. Speakers and microphones are at the centre of a wide range of connected and consumer electronics products, and developing these capabilities domestically will allow us to contribute greater value across the electronics supply chain. We see this as an opportunity to further strengthen our manufacturing capabilities in India and build solutions that can cater to both domestic and global requirements."

The approval comes as the Government of India continues to accelerate the development of a deeper and more self-reliant electronics supply chain through ECMS. With the latest round of approvals, 106 projects covering 30 products across 15 states have now been approved under the scheme, representing a total approved investment of ₹69,548 crore and projected production of ₹5,34,101 crore. The scheme is designed to encourage investments across key electronics components, sub-assemblies, supply-chain products and capital goods, with a focus on increasing domestic value addition and reducing dependence on imports.

For Brandworks, the latest approval builds on its continued engagement with the Government of India's efforts to advance the country's electronics and technology ecosystem. The company has previously partnered with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) through initiatives focused on strengthening India's capabilities in emerging electronics and technology domains. The ECMS approval further reflects Brandworks' continued commitment to contributing to the country's transition towards deeper domestic manufacturing and greater value addition across the electronics supply chain.

The approval also represents an opportunity for Brandworks to further integrate component manufacturing into its electronics manufacturing portfolio while creating capabilities that can support the evolving requirements of India's fast-growing electronics industry. The company intends to leverage its manufacturing and engineering capabilities to develop scalable production infrastructure for speakers and microphones and support customers across multiple electronics segments.

The development comes at a time when India's electronics manufacturing sector is witnessing increasing demand for locally manufactured components, driven by the growth of smartphones, wearables, smart consumer devices, automotive electronics, connected devices and other technology-led products.

With the ECMS approval, Brandworks aims to play a larger role in this transition by contributing to a more resilient, locally anchored, and globally competitive electronics supply chain from India, while working closely with the government and industry ecosystem to advance the country's electronics component manufacturing capabilities.
