The guidelines for the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for telecom and networking Products have been amended with effect from April 1, to introduce design-led manufacturing with additional one percent incentive rates.
The registration process for design-led manufacturing under the PLI scheme started from June 21.

The Department of Telecom (DoT) in June announced an incentive scheme for design-led manufacturing, along with extending the duration of production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme by a year.
DoT also approved addition of 11 new telecom and networking products to the existing list, based on suggestions from the stakeholders.
The design-Led manufacturing is primarily aimed to support efforts for designing telecom products in India.
