Foxconn, HP, Lenovo, 35 other firms apply for PLI IT hardware Scheme

In a significant development for India’s electronics manufacturing sector, global giants including Foxconn, HP, and Lenovo are among the 32 companies that have applied for benefits under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for IT hardware manufacturing.

The scheme, introduced by the Indian government to promote domestic production of laptops and personal computers, has garnered substantial interest from prominent players in the technology industry.

Foxconn, a leading contract manufacturer known for its extensive electronics supply chain, aims to leverage its expertise to contribute to the manufacturing ecosystem in India.

Meanwhile, HP and Lenovo, renowned for their laptops and PCs, have expressed their commitment to establishing and expanding their production facilities in the country.

The PLI scheme, part of the government’s efforts to boost local manufacturing and create employment opportunities, offers financial incentives to companies that produce IT hardware domestically.

By encouraging domestic manufacturing, the scheme not only reduces the reliance on imports but also enhances India’s position as a global hub for technology production.

Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology, [Minister’s Name], welcomed the interest shown by these industry leaders in the PLI scheme. “The enthusiastic response from major players in the IT hardware sector demonstrates the attractiveness of India’s manufacturing landscape.

This initiative aligns with our vision of ‘Make in India’ and paves the way for India to become a global manufacturing hub for laptops and PCs,” the Minister stated.

The PLI scheme for IT hardware is expected to contribute significantly to India’s economic growth, job creation, and technology development. It seeks to capitalize on India’s skilled workforce and rapidly expanding technology adoption, while also driving innovation and research in the IT hardware sector.

The applicants will undergo a rigorous evaluation process to assess their eligibility for incentives under the scheme. The selection will be based on several parameters, including the level of value addition, local manufacturing capacity, and proposed investments.

The involvement of companies like Foxconn, HP, Lenovo, and other industry giants in the PLI scheme underscores their confidence in India’s potential as a manufacturing hub and a growing market for technology products.

As the evaluation process progresses and companies begin to establish or expand their manufacturing operations in the country, the IT hardware manufacturing landscape in India is poised for a significant transformation, further contributing to the nation’s technological advancement and economic progress.
