Wipro Electronic Materials established to strengthen India’s PCB ecosystem

Wipro Infrastructure Engineering (WIN) has announced a new business division, Wipro Electronic Materials, focused on manufacturing high-performance base materials for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). 

This strategic investment marks a significant step toward building a resilient, innovation-led electronics manufacturing ecosystem in India—supporting fast-growing sectors such as telecommunications, automotive electronics, consumer devices, industrial systems, and AI infrastructure.

The new facility, located in Karnataka, is set to begin production in 2026. The plant will produce over 6 million sheets of copper-clad laminates, and corresponding prepreg materials, with an investment of around INR 500 crores, which will generate approximately 350 jobs. This milestone positions Wipro Infrastructure Engineering as a key enabler in advancing India’s self-reliance in electronics manufacturing.

Pratik Kumar, CEO, Wipro Infrastructure Engineering (WIN) & MD, Wipro Enterprises, shared: “Wipro Electronic Materials marks a first-of-its-kind investment in India’s electronics manufacturing landscape, made possible through the timely support of the Government of Karnataka and MeitY.

“This highly advanced CCL facility reflects our strategic vision to build future-ready capabilities and enable India to play a larger role in the global electronics technology ecosystem. By giving Indian manufacturers reliable access to locally produced, high-quality materials, we are strengthening supply chain resilience and accelerating global competitiveness.”

Neeraj Pandita, Founder and Co-CEO, Wipro Electronic Materials, noted: "The electronics manufacturing sector is facing a critical supply chain challenge, with 100% of copper-clad laminates currently imported. Wipro Electronic Materials is proud to bridge this gap by producing high-quality base materials locally. 

"This strengthens our ability to serve key sectors like telecom, automotive, consumer electronics, and AI—while positioning Wipro as a supplier focussed on serving global customers and OEMs.”

Tarun Amla, Founder and Co-CEO, Wipro Electronic Materials, added:  "This first-of-its-kind facility is built to drive innovation at scale, with strong capabilities in resin formulation, process engineering, and product design. We are creating a specialized R&D ecosystem focused on proprietary technologies, IP generation, and high-performance materials for next-generation electronics."
