The government on Tuesday notified the ₹22,919 crore scheme to promote domestic manufacturing of electronics components, display and camera modules, non-surface mount devices, multi-layer printed circuit boards and lithium-ion cells for digital applications, among others. The scheme is likely to be operationalised in the next 2-3 weeks.
After that, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology will start accepting applications from companies willing to manufacture in India under the plan, said Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
