Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Electronics
The PLI scheme for large-scale electronics manufacturing was one of the first 13 PLI sectors notified in 2020-21, designed to incentivise domestic manufacturing and attract global companies. Under PLI, companies receive a percentage of incremental sales revenue as an incentive over a defined period, contingent on meeting investment and production thresholds.
- Electronics PLI (Large Scale): Notified by MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and IT); incentive: 4-6% on incremental sales for 5 years
- Administered by: MeitY for electronics; broader PLI programme under MoF coordination
- Global beneficiaries in electronics PLI: Apple (via Foxconn, Pegatron, Wistron), Samsung, Dixon Technologies, Lava, others
- India's mobile phone exports: Grew from ~₹1,500 crore (2014-15) to ~₹1.2 lakh crore (2024-25) — largely driven by PLI
- PLI for IT Hardware (laptops/tablets): Separate scheme with lower incentive structure; revised in 2023
- Total PLI schemes: 14 sectors; total outlay ~₹1.97 lakh crore (across all sectors)
