India to Leave Behind China in Mobile Manufacturing
Prasad, in his statement at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) annual general meeting (AGM), said that India is now pushing ahead of China for being the largest mobile manufacturing nation in the world.
It is expected that India will have an electronic manufacturing turnover of around Rs 26 lakh crore by the year 2025 as per the National Policy on Electronics. Out of this, Rs 13 lakh crore which is the half of it is expected to be contributed by the mobile phone industry alone.
Prasad said that the PLI scheme is made with a vision to attract and allow the biggest tech companies in the world to come to India and set up their manufacturing and production plants locally. Already multiple global tech giants such as Apple and Samsung have benefitted from the scheme.
