Delhi: Secretary of MeitY S. Krishnan says, One of the most successful elements of Make in India has been the efforts launched in the electronics sector. The first Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme was initiated for large-scale electronic manufacturing, covering the mobile phone ecosystem. The success is evident in the results achieved; in 2014-15, we imported about 74% of the total mobile phones consumed annually in the country. Today, 99.2% of the mobile phones purchased in India are manufactured domestically. I believe that is the greatest testament to our success, primarily due to the PLI scheme.

00:00I think one of the most successful elements of the Make in India has been the efforts
00:04that have been launched in the electronic sector.
00:08The first PLI which was launched was for large-scale electronic manufacture which covered the mobile
00:13phone ecosystem.
00:15That success can be seen in the kind of results which have been achieved.
00:19From a time when we imported about 74% of the total mobile phones which were consumed
00:24in the country annually in 2014-15, today 99.2% of the mobile phones bought in this
00:31country are made in this country.
00:33I think that is the biggest taste of the success and that's primarily because of the PLI scheme.
00:38Likewise we have another PLI scheme for the IT hardware which I believe will be able to
00:45achieve the kind of success that the mobile scheme also achieved.
00:50Employment has been very, very significant in the electronic sector so far.
00:54In the mobile sector alone the total employment has been about 12 lakh people and some of
01:01the largest factories today which employ labour are in the mobile manufacturing sector.
01:07I think it's been a remarkable success in the electronic sector as I already outlined
01:12both in terms of manufacture of electronic products and in terms of manufacture of mobile
01:17phones plus an added bounty has been what has happened in the semiconductor sector.
01:25We have established or we are in the process of establishing the first five semiconductor
01:31manufacturing facilities, large scale manufacturing facilities in the country.
01:35This is also an outcome of the overall Make in India push.
01:39So one of the biggest success stories in Make in India has been the electronic sector.
