Reacting to this Kishan Jain, Director at Goldmedal Electricals said, “The government’s decision to provide a boost to the electronics manufacturing sector in India is a welcome step, especially considering the current business scenario. The Electronics Manufacturing Scheme 2.0 announced by the Union Cabinet today will be inviting applications for the Rs. 50,000 crore incentive programme. This initiative will open up opportunities for Indian and global electronic manufacturing companies to set up their operations and boost their capabilities within the country. Today’s move coupled with earlier announced measures such as a production-linked incentive scheme (PLI) scheme for promoting the development of electronic components, will augur well for technology-driven companies. This can be great step in our journey towards becoming an electronics manufacturing hub of the world while at the same time providing a fillip to ‘Make in India’, especially in the current phase when the Indian economy is gradually opening up. All of these steps will provide a much needed boost to the sector and help homegrown companies such as Goldmedal Electricals to regain our growth momentum while further expanding our business operations in a post-COVID world.”
