India's mobile phone production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme has generated Rs 25,000 crore in direct tax collections against Rs 19,000 crore paid in incentives, Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said. The scheme has also supported employment, with mobile manufacturing accounting for 12 lakh jobs. The government is now looking to expand domestic production, boost component sourcing and strengthen India's electronics manufacturing ecosystem through a new Rs 62,500 crore scheme.
