Zetwerk’s Josh Foulger urges government to open up mobile phone PLI scheme
Josh Foulger, president of Zetwerk Electronics, has called on the Indian government to eliminate restrictions on the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for mobile phones to attract more companies in the Android smartphone sector. He noted that the current PLI scheme has limited growth opportunities, particularly for Android phone manufacturers, and advocated for a more open approach similar to the revamped PLI plan for IT hardware. Foulger emphasized the need for backward and forward integration in the PLI scheme to foster greater participation and growth in the industry.
