Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme

The scheme "Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme" has been launched by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India. It aims to provide financial incentives for the manufacturing of identified electronic components and capital goods in Bharat. Through this scheme, turnover-linked and capital expenditure incentives are provided to companies and Limited Liability Partnerships investing in greenfield or brownfield projects within the target segments. The scheme is implemented by a Project Management Agency (PMA) appointed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The scheme seeks to ensure the effective operation and smooth implementation of electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM) through detailed industry consultations. It focuses on sub-assemblies, bare components, selected bare components, and the supply chain ecosystem, including capital equipment.

Nature of Incentives by Target Segment:

The scheme offers three types of incentives depending on the target segment:

1. Turnover Linked Incentive: Applicable to Sub-assemblies (Segment A) and Bare Components (Segment B). The incentive is calculated on net incremental sales over the base year, multiplied by the applicable incentive rate.1. Hybrid Incentive: Applicable to Selected Bare Components (Segment C), comprising both turnover-linked incentive and Capex incentive.1. Capex Incentive: Applicable to Supply Chain Ecosystem and Capital Equipment (Segment D). The incentive is calculated on eligible incremental capital expenditure, multiplied by the applicable incentive rate.1. Employment Incentive: A portion of the incentive (1% for turnover-linked or 5% for Capex) is specifically disbursed upon meeting cumulative incremental employment threshold criteria.1. Additional Incentive: An additional 2% incentive on incremental sales is provided for Li-ion Cells if cathode active material (CAM) is sourced or manufactured domestically.

• An additional 1% incentive on incremental sales is provided for Multi-layer PCB if the laminate is sourced or manufactured domestically.
