The Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) would need to push through amendments to the IT Act and work on drafting the framework under the Digital India initiative, which are expected to top the 100-day agenda, officials said.

The production-linked incentive scheme for electronics manufacturing, one of the most consequential owing to its export potential and impact on localisation, is expected to see further expansion, and the ministry might bring in similar fiscal incentives for the component ecosystem as well.
