PLI scheme to help India pip China in mobile manufacturing: Minister

Telecommunications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the government was looking to make India a hub of other electronic products

Telecommunications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday said India’s production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme would attract global investors and help the country leverage its position as the mobile manufacturing hub.
 

“We wanted India to become the second largest mobile manufacturer in the world. Now I am pushing India to surpass China. That’s my goal and I am very clearly defining it,” Prasad said at the annual general meeting of industry chamber FICCI.
 

He said the government was looking to make India a hub of other electronic products as well with the expansion of the PLI scheme to other sectors.
