Smartphones get the largest share in PLI schemes

The Smartphone production-linked incentive scheme, the most successful of the 14 PLIs, has topped the allocation at Rs 8,885 crore in the Budget 2025-26, significantly higher than allocations for PLI schemes of other ministries.

The allocation has increased by over 45% compared to Rs 6,125 crore, which was allocated for FY25. In the revised estimate, however, it has been revised to Rs 5,747 crore.
