India Proposes Extending Tax Incentives for Electronics Manufacturing and Foreign Investors
India's proposed Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill, 2026 aims to extend tax exemptions for electronics contract manufacturing and foreign companies supplying machinery until 2041. The bill includes incentives for electronics makers, fund managers, and global investors, while increasing the surcharge on certain Special Purpose Vehicles. It also seeks to attract foreign capital by offering tax exemptions on government securities for foreign institutional investors and easing provisions for asset management activities. The measures are intended to boost domestic electronics manufacturing and exports, benefiting companies like Apple expanding production in India.
