Electronics and semiconductors are foundational industries: Electronics and semiconductors are
foundational industries. They are important for smooth functioning of nearly every sector of economy and
have large scale impact on lives of citizens.
Government’s policy: Government of India’s electronics and semiconductor policy is based on the
Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Atma Nirbhar Bharat and Make in India. Government has adopted a
planned and methodical approach to increase electronic manufacturing across the entire value chain
including semiconductor.
PLI for large scale electronics: In 2020, Government launched Production linked scheme (PLI) for large
scale electronics manufacturing. The target segment included mobile phones and certain specified
components. The scheme has attracted investment of Rs 14,065 Cr.
PLI for IT hardware: To target manufacturing of IT Hardware, Government launched PLI for IT Hardware for
promoting manufacturing of laptop, tablets, server and Ultra small form factor (USFF) devices. PLI for IT
hardware have attracted investment of Rs 846 Cr till date.
Additionally, Government has brought in multiple reforms in taxation, customs duty, FDI, etc. to facilitate
electronics manufacturing.
India has emerged as a significant electronics manufacturer: As a result of these policy efforts, electronics
manufacturing has grown almost six (6) times in last 11 years. It has increased from Rs 1.9 lakh Cr in
2014-15 to Rs 11.32 lakh crore in 2024-25.
