India Advances Mobile Manufacturing with New Incentives to Boost Local Value Addition
India's mobile manufacturing sector is shifting focus from assembly to increasing domestic value addition through government schemes like the Mobile Phone Manufacturing Scheme (PLI 2.0) and the Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). With incentives totaling over Rs 62,500 crore, these initiatives aim to boost production, exports, and local component manufacturing. While mobile phones account for nearly half of India's electronics production, domestic value addition remains below 15%, prompting efforts to develop a stronger component supply chain and enhance localization by FY31.
