## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a) to (d):  With an objective to boost domestic manufacturing and attract large investments in the IT Hardware value chain,  MeitY launched  PLI  Scheme  2.0  for  IT  Hardware on  29.05.2023.  Under this scheme, 27 companies have been approved. Out of these, 10 manufacturing units have been established in last 3 years as per details at Annexure I.

To  promote  balanced  regional  distribution  of  electronics  manufacturing  Government  have  launched various initiatives in last ten years which resulted in establishment of a strong electronics manufacturing ecosystem in India.

Government initiatives that made such transformation possible include:

- Production linked incentives (PLI) for large scale electronics manufacturing
- Production linked incentives (PLI) for IT hardware
- Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS)
- Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC and EMC 2.0) Scheme
- Public  Procurement  (Preference  to  Make  in  India)  Order  2017  to  prioritize  domestically manufactured products in public procurement
- Reforms in taxation including rationalization of tariff structure, exemption on basic custom duty on capital goods, etc.

However, the locations of electronics manufacturing units are chosen by the companies based on supply chain linkage, infra structure support and other ease of doing measures provided by the states. Further, Government of India notified the EMC and Modified EMC (EMC 2.0) schemes to create world class infrastructure along with common facilities and amenities including plug and play facility /ready built-up sheds for attracting major global electronics manufacturers along with their supply chains to set up their production facility in the country. These schemes are Pan India initiatives and total 22 clusters in EMC and 11 clusters in EMC 2.0 have been approved in 18 states across India including 2 clusters approved in state of Tamil Nadu.  The details are enclosed at Annexure-II.
