ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
(SHRI JITIN PRASADA)
(a) to (d): India’s electronics manufacturing strategy:
Government of India has taken several policy initiatives to develop a complete ecosystem of
electronics manufacturing.
Government adopted a well thought out strategy to develop India’s electronic manufacturing
ecosystem – beginning with the manufacturing of finished products, followed by sub-
assemblies, components, and eventually machinery and tools. At the same time, Government
focused on creating the necessary infrastructure to support electronics manufacturing.
As a result of these initiatives, electronics manufacturing in India has expanded significantly
in the last 12 years, which can be seen from the following statistics:
# 2014-15 2025-26 Remarks
Production of electronics goods (₹) ~1.9 Lakh Cr ~13.11 Lakh Cr Increased 7 times
Export of electronics goods (₹) ~38 thousand Cr ~4.24 Lakh Cr Increased 11 times
Production of mobile phones (₹) ~18 thousand Cr ~6.27 Lakh Cr Increased 33 times
Export of mobile phones (₹) ~1500 Cr ~ 2.59 Lakh Cr Increased 165 times● India has now reached a point where 99.2% of the mobile phones being used in India
are made in India.
● India today is the second largest mobile manufacturer in volume terms.
● The country has transitioned from being a net importer of mobile phones in 2014 to
becoming a net exporter.
● Today India's electronics manufacturing sector supports ~25 lakh jobs (direct and
indirect) reflecting the sector’s growing role in creating industrial employment
opportunities.
● Mobile manufacturing ecosystem alone currently employs around 12 lakh people
(both direct and in-direct) across the value chain.
Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing
(LSEM)
PLI Scheme for LSEM was notified on 01.04.2020, to boost domestic manufacturing and
attract investment in mobile phones value chain including electronic components. The target
envisaged and achievements made under PLI LSEM during the scheme tenure are as under:
Particulars Target during scheme tenure Achievement
Investment (₹ Cr) 7,000 20,587 (294%)
Sales/Production (₹ Cr) 8,12,550 11,61,581 (143%)
Exports (₹ Cr) 4,87,530 6,53,745 (134%)
Incremental Employment 2,00,000 1,69,150 (84%)
(Direct Jobs) (Nos.)
The incentive outlay under the scheme is ₹ 34,139 Cr. As of March 2026, incentives of
₹19,091 Cr have been disbursed under the scheme.
The success of PLI-LSEM has established India as a credible global manufacturing
destination. It has also catalysed investment in mobile ecosystem across country. The number
of major components and EMS companies in smartphone ecosystem grew from 10 to 40+.
Many more tier 2, tier 3 and tier 4 suppliers have integrated into the supply chain. This supply
chain is now spread across the country. Domestic value addition in mobile manufacturing has
also increased from around ~15% to ~23% during the scheme tenure, indicating gradual
deepening of localization.
Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme 2.0 for IT Hardware
PLI Scheme 2.0 for IT Hardware was notified on 29.05.2023, to boost domestic
manufacturing and attract investment in IT Hardware value chain. The target envisaged vis-
à-vis achievements made under the PLI Schemes for IT Hardware till 30.06.2026 are as under:
Particulars Target during Target till FY 2026-27 Achievement
scheme tenure (till 30.06.2026)
Cumulative Investment 2,430 1,060 1,056
(₹ Cr) (99%)
Cumulative 3,35,025 54,075 24,385
Sales/Production (45%)
(₹ Cr)
Cumulative Incremental 75,000 12,105 5,216
Employment (Direct (43%)
Jobs) (Nos.)The incentive outlay under the PLI Scheme 2.0 for IT Hardware is ₹ 16,939 Cr. As of June
2026, incentives of ₹97.85 Cr have been disbursed under the PLI Schemes for IT Hardware.
The Scheme has significantly strengthened India's domestic IT hardware manufacturing
ecosystem by encouraging participation from both global and domestic companies. It has led
to the commencement of domestic production of critical IT hardware sub-assemblies and
components, thereby laying the foundation for a stronger component ecosystem and higher
domestic value addition. The Scheme has also facilitated technology transfer and enhanced
manufacturing capabilities through production by global brands and their EMS partners in
India. Further, it has strengthened linkages between global OEMs and Indian EMS
companies, supporting deeper integration of the domestic industry with global value chains.
