India’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for IT hardware is playing a significant role in driving the growth of domestic laptop production in the country. Against the backdrop of trade tensions between China and the US, global brands such as Asus, MSI, and HP are forging partnerships with Indian manufacturers to establish or expand local manufacturing units. The scheme’s incentives are proving to be a major attraction for these companies, encouraging them to invest in India’s burgeoning IT hardware industry. This move not only boosts the country’s manufacturing capabilities but also enhances its position as a key player in the global IT market. With the increasing demand for laptops and other IT hardware devices, the collaboration between international brands and Indian manufacturers is set to further strengthen India’s position as a leading hub for technology production. The PLI scheme, coupled with strategic partnerships, is paving the way for India to become a key player in the global IT hardware manufacturing landscape. As the country continues to focus on enhancing its manufacturing capabilities, partnerships with global giants in the IT industry are expected to drive further growth and development in this sector.
