NEW DELHI, INDIA, July 2026 — As India prepares to shape the next chapter of its electronics manufacturing strategy, Coherent Market Insights (CMI) has been appointed Knowledge Partner for ESC India's Chintan Shivir 2026, a Government of India stakeholder consultation focused on evaluating the future of the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) programme. The consultation will be held on July 10, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, and will bring together policymakers, industry representatives, exporters, manufacturers, and research organizations to discuss policy priorities for the sector.

In support of the consultation, CMI has authored a co-branded research paper titled "ESC India's Chintan Shivir 2026." The study has been submitted to ESC India to provide data-driven recommendations for strengthening India's position as a global electronics manufacturing destination.

The report reviews the progress of three major government initiatives—the Large Scale Electronics Manufacturing (LSEM) Scheme, IT Hardware PLI 2.0, and the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). It measures their contribution to production growth, export performance, investment attraction, and supply chain development while identifying areas that require additional policy attention.

The analysis shows that the PLI programme has significantly accelerated the expansion of India's electronics industry. Mobile phone production increased from approximately ₹2.13 lakh crore in FY21 to ₹5.25 lakh crore in FY25, while exports grew from ₹22,870 crore to nearly ₹2 lakh crore over the same period. These gains have helped India become the second-largest mobile phone manufacturing country globally and elevated electronics to the nation's third-largest export category.

Beyond measuring current achievements, the report outlines the priorities required to sustain long-term growth. It recommends greater investment in domestic electronics component manufacturing, faster development of semiconductor capabilities, stronger supplier ecosystems, increased local value addition, and enhanced support for research, product design, and innovation.

According to the report, the next phase of industrial policy should move beyond expanding production volumes and instead focus on creating an integrated manufacturing ecosystem that delivers higher technological capability, stronger supply chain resilience, and greater global competitiveness.

Coherent Market Insights will be represented at Chintan Shivir 2026 by Mohit Shrivastava, AVP – Research & Consulting, who will participate on behalf of Raj Shah, CEO & Founder of Coherent Market Insights.
