India’s ambitious production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for mobile manufacturing has delivered outcomes well beyond expectations, signaling a structural transformation in the country’s electronics sector. With investments reaching Rs 17,519 crore—more than double initial targets—and production crossing Rs 8.12 lakh crore, the program has catalyzed large-scale industrial growth. Smartphone exports alone touched Rs 2.62 lakh crore in 2025, positioning the country as a net exporter rather than an importer.
