Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing

The PLI Scheme is a Central Government incentive framework that pays eligible manufacturers a percentage of incremental sales (over a fixed base year) of goods made in India, aimed at reducing import dependence and building domestic manufacturing scale. The electronics/mobile manufacturing PLI was among the first PLI schemes approved, notified effective April 1, 2020, with incentives applicable from August 1, 2020.

Key details
  • Base year for calculating incremental sales: FY 2019-20
  • Incentive structure: 4-6% on incremental sales of goods manufactured in India, over a five-year window
  • Initial outlay for the Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing PLI: approximately ₹40,995 crore
  • Target segments: mobile phones and specified electronic components (e.g., camera modules, chargers)
  • The PLI scheme for large-scale electronics manufacturing concluded on March 31, 2026; the Union Cabinet has since approved a follow-on Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme (MPMS) worth roughly ₹62,500 crore as the next phase
