On November 18, Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that the government has approved 27 companies under the IT hardware production-linked incentive (PLI) 2.0.

“I am happy to announce that 27 companies have been approved for PLI 2.0. The best part is that 23 out of these companies are ready to start their manufacturing from day zero, and the other four will begin production within the next 90 days,” Vaishnaw said.

According to him, this will lead to an investment of nearly Rs 3,000 crore, additional production of around 3.5 lakh crore units, direct employment of around 50,000, and indirect employment of around 1.5 lakh.

The PLI 2.0 scheme encompasses IT hardware items including laptops, tablets, all-in-one PCs, servers, and ultra-small form factor devices, aligning with the trajectory of achieving $25 billion in IT hardware production with exports projected between $12 and 17 billion by 2025–26.

The PLI 2.0 scheme's architecture, offering an average incentive of 5 per cent over six years, alongside incentives for localisation of key components and sub-assemblies, is designed to foster a conducive ecosystem for IT hardware manufacturing.
