  1. Press Information Bureau, Government of India — Factsheet: Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Large Scale Mobile and Component Manufacturing, 17 November 2021 pib.gov.in accessed 23 September 2026

The Production Linked Incentive scheme is a family of sector programmes rather than one scheme, and the Government of India’s own factsheet is for the first and largest of them. In its words, the PLI “for large scale electronics manufacturing proposes a financial incentive to boost domestic manufacturing and attract large investments in the electronics value chain including mobile phones and specified electronic components”. The structure implied by the name is the substance: the incentive is paid on incremental production actually achieved against a base year, not on capital committed, so it rewards output rather than announcements. Note the limit on this source — the factsheet is dated 17 November 2021 and covers mobile and component manufacturing. Other PLI schemes have their own notifications, their own sectors and their own thresholds, and none of them is described here.

Sourced to the body itself. This entry cites the organisation’s own description of what it is and what it does, which is the right authority on its mandate and structure and the wrong one on its performance. Where a figure appears above it is the body’s own published figure. For statutory detail, the Act or notification named in the text governs, not the summary page.
