For building Indian brands, an additional incentive @3% on Eligible Sales for design and R&D of the product.

Expected Outcomes:

During the scheme tenure, the cumulative mobile phone production in the country is expected to reach approximately Rs 39,00,000 crore with significant increase in exports of mobile phones. The Scheme is also expected to generate around 60,000 direct jobs thereby contributing to economic growth, employment generation and strengthening India’s position in global electronics manufacturing hub.

Context:

Prime Minister’s Make in India vision has propelled electronics manufacturing to grow 7 times and exports to grow 11 times since FY 2014-15. Electronics manufacturing sector has also emerged as a major employer, especially for young men and women from far flung villages, with a few plant employing more than 5,000 employees at a single location.

Mobile phone manufacturing has been the key driver of this growth and has emerged as the anchor of India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem. India is now the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer by volume, with 99.2% of mobile phones used in India being manufactured domestically.

Smartphones have emerged as the single largest exported product category from India in 2025, surpassing traditional leading export items such as diesel fuel and cut diamonds. Mobile phones now constitute a major share of India’s electronics production and exports and are playing a critical role in strengthening India’s position in global value chains.

The Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing (PLI-LSEM) has played a transformative role in establishing India as a global hub for mobile manufacturing and exports.

The tenure of PLI-LSEM ended on 31st March 2026.**** MJPS (रलीज़ आईडी: 2284789) आगंतुक पटल : 6579 इस वज्ञ को इन भाषाओ ंम पढ़: Urdu , ही , Marathi , Manipuri , Assamese , Bengali , Bengali-TR , Punjabi , Gujarati , Odia , Tamil , Telugu , Kannada , Malayalam
