Mega Networks is one of two Indian firms chosen for the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme 2.0 for IT hardware. Under this, the government gives an incentive of around 5% on net incremental sales of goods manufactured in India.

Imports of personal computers into India also declined 55 per cent year-on-year to USD 1.06 billion from the world during November-February 2024. On October 19 last year, the government tweaked curbs on imports of laptops and computers as it allowed importers to bring in shipments of IT hardware from overseas on a mere "authorisation" upon detailing quantity and value.

PLI schemes across sectors attracted significant investments by December 2023, notably in pharma and solar industries. While some sectors thrived, others like IT hardware, auto, and textiles faced tepid interest, prompting a review for scheme improvements.

Saurabh Gupta of Dixon Technologies foresees a $10 billion IT hardware opportunity for India. Emphasizing import substitution, a growth rate of 35-40% annually, and the importance of the PLI scheme, Dixon aims for 20-25% revenue from exports in five years.

HP India managing director Ipsita Dasgupta was appointed the India head of the laptop and personal computer maker in October last year. She said the company was in talks with several Indian and multi-national companies but most of these plans are works in progress as of now.

According to the HP Anti-Counterfeiting and Fraud (ACF) report, in this period, law enforcement authorities have removed nearly 4.4 lakh illicit items from the market, including 1 lakh being confiscated from Mumbai alone.
