India’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for IT hardware is playing a pivotal role in driving the growth of domestic laptop production. The program has gained momentum as global brands such as Asus, MSI, and HP are collaborating with Indian manufacturers to capitalize on the benefits offered by the scheme. Amid the ongoing trade tensions between China and the US, these companies are increasingly looking to establish or expand their local manufacturing operations in India. The PLI scheme provides various incentives, including financial support and tax benefits, making it an attractive proposition for multinational corporations to set up production units in the country. This move not only boosts the domestic manufacturing sector but also aligns with the Indian government’s vision of making the country a global hub for electronics manufacturing. With the increasing demand for laptops and other IT hardware products, India’s focus on enhancing domestic production capacity is strategic in reducing dependence on imports and promoting self-reliance in the technology sector. The collaboration between global brands and Indian manufacturers under the PLI scheme is expected to further accelerate the growth of the IT hardware industry in India, creating employment opportunities and driving technological advancements in the country.
