The companies approved under the scheme will bring additional investment in electronics manufacturing to the tune of INR 11,000 crore.


The companies approved under the scheme will generate more than2 lakh direct employment opportunities in the next 5 years along with the creation of additional indirect employment of nearly 3 times the direct employment.


Domestic Value Addition is expected to grow from the current 15-20% to 35-40% in the case of Mobile Phones and 45-50% for electronic components.


With the demand for electronics in India expected to grow manifold by 2025, Hon’ble Minister expressed confidence that PLI scheme and other initiatives to promote electronics manufacturing will help in making India a competitive destination for electronics manufacturing and give a boost to AtmaNirbhar Bharat.


Creation of domestic champion companies in electronics manufacturing under the Scheme will give a fillip to vocal for local while aiming for global scale.


Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and his visionary initiatives like the “Digital India” and “Make in India” programmes, India has witnessed unprecedented growth in electronics manufacturing in the last five years. The National Policy on Electronics 2019 envisions positioning India as a global hub for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) by focusing on size and scale, promoting exports and enhancing domestic value addition by creating an enabling environment for the industry to compete globally.
