Schemes for Electronics Manufacturing in India

In order to position India as a global hub for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) and push further the vision of the National Policy on Electronics (NPE) 2019, three schemes namely the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI), Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) and Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters Scheme (EMC 2.0) were notified in April 2020. A fourth scheme, namely the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for IT Hardware was notified in March 2021.

Electronics manufacturing in India has grown rapidly with a CAGR of around 23% during the last 5 years, with domestic production of electronics hardware touching $76 bn in 2019-20.  The electronics manufacturing industry currently provides employment for over 2 million people in India. To further facilitate large-scale manufacturing, development of a supply chain ecosystem, and building of new manufacturing clusters in the country, each electronic manufacturing scheme has been carefully constructed to incentivize the electronics manufacturing industry.
