Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) for IT Hardware Scheme 2.O

The scheme "Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme 2.0 for IT Hardware" has been launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The aim is to promote domestic manufacturing of IT hardware products by providing production-linked incentives to eligible companies manufacturing target segment goods in India. Through this scheme, financial incentives on incremental sales of manufactured target segment goods — covering Laptops, Tablets, All-in-One Personal Computers (PCs), Servers, and Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) devices — are provided to Indian-registered companies across three categories: Global Companies, Hybrid (Global/Domestic) Companies, and Domestic Companies, that manufacture qualifying products in India. The scheme is implemented by a Project Management Agency (PMA). Objectives: - To boost domestic manufacturing of IT hardware products under the Target Segment (Laptops, Tablets, All-in-One PCs, Servers, and Ultra Small Form Factor devices) in India. - To incentivise incremental investment in plant, machinery, equipment, Research and Development (R&D), and Transfer of Technology (ToT) related to the Target Segment. - To promote localisation of components and sub-assemblies in the IT hardware value chain. - To encourage employment generation directly related to the manufacturing process. - To improve domestic value addition in the manufacturing of IT hardware.
